HENRY FITZGILBERT WATERS, A.M.
By Jamks Kendall IIosmeh, I'li.D., LL.D., of Minnenpolis, Minn.
Thk tttateinent will probaMy pass without challenge that Henry
FitzCiilbert Waters was in America tiie most eminent antifpiarian of
his time, perhaps of all times. The scope of his investigaticjns was
wide, embracing not only New England, but the Middle States and
the South. As regards a multitude of families he threw light upon
tlie matter of lineage, })utting thereby large nund)ers under obliga-
tion to him. As the tracer of the genealogies of characters of his-
torical importance, Roger Williams, »John Harvard, and \\'ashington,
he put the whole country in debt. The passing of a man so gifted
and useful, which occurred at Salem, Mass., on 10 August liiKi,
requires special mention in the pages of the J^kgistkil, a journal
devoted to the studies in which Mr. AVaters made himself illu.-^trious
and the principal medium through which he made his discoveries
known.
He was born at Salem 29 March 1833. His line was honorable,
running back to the foundation of Massachusetts Hay, and botii tor
his fatlier and mother the pedigree may be clearly traced, on botli
sides of the purest New England strain. His father, Hon. Joseph
Gilbert Waters, born at Salem 5 July 17t>G, was fifth in descent
from Lawrence Waters, oneof tlie first settlers of \Vatertown, Mass.,
and afterwards of Lancaster, Mass., the line consisting of Lawrence,'
Stej)hen,' Henjamin,^ Benjamin,* fJose})h,* and Joseph (lilbert.*
Jose[)ii (lilbert Waters was a Harvanl graduate of the Class ot" I. SI (J,
a lawyer by profession, the editor for several years of the Kyalcni
Obstrver^ a member of the Massachusetts Senate in 1^35, anil for
more than forty years a justice of the Police Court at Salem. He
died 12 July 1878. His wife, whom he married 8 December 182.'),
was Kliza (ireenleaf Townsend, who was born at Salem 17 ,Ianuarv
1798 and died Li November 1890, (.laughter of C\ipt. Pcnn Tosvn-
send, a notable Essex worthy, and his wife Mary, who was the daugh-
ter of Addison and Mary (Greenleaf ) Kichardson. Their son had
no vainglorious pritle of birth, but an affectionate interest in the
chain of honest sires from whom he drew his blood.

Ill \^\'l Henry Firz(iill)trt Waters entered a private school at
Sahin, lu'pt hy .foiiatlian F<)x Worcester, A..M., M.l)., a ton of
IJev. Saimicl WorcfHter, S.T.D., and a ^n-aduate of Darliuouth
College. He renialiu'd for six or seven yi-ars nndcr Hr. Worci-.-tt r'd
tuition, and tlun lit; entered tlie l*ul)lic Latin Seliool, ot" which ( )liver
Carlton, A.M., also a Dartmouth graduate, was master. I came
into iiersonal toiicii Nvith \\'aters when, as hovs of ahont eii/ht-
eeii, we entered Harvard College in 1«61, ineinhers of the Class of
18.')/). He hecaine almost at once my most intimate friend, and
although in after years our patlis diverged widely, we m(?t at intcr-
valts, rather reinarkahly at critical moments, and our friendshij) and
6vnij)athy remained unahated. As a hoy he was of medium stature,
slender aiul ah it, hright-eyed, with delicate features, among which
the nose, clear-cut and pronounced, was noticeahle. (^uite strange-
Iv his hair, even when a freshman, was streaked with gray, a pecu-
liaritv which was said to have called out trom Jared S})arks, then
jiresident, an outhurst of laughter: "A gray-haired freshman!
^^'hat an ideal " It was not a sign of decrepitude. He was vig-
orous in body then and always, active with ^onle intervals of illness
to fourscore.
AVjitcrs came to college with James Arthur Enimerton, his friend
almost from the cradle, a man who also in later years developed in-
to a notahlc antlcpiary. They were chums throughout their college
life, and closely bound together up to l^mmerton's death. Togi'ther
they travelled and made researches, Enimerton supplying the means
from his longer purse, and when he died ecpiipping his companion
sufhcieiitly to carry on his work. It was a heaiitiful union ot" kin-
dred spirits and memorahle in its results, for Waters could hardly
have acconlpli^lled his great tasks had not I'jnmerton lent him his
sturdy shoiihlcr. I think they were the most popular men of our
class. They were genial, and their room was a common ground
where all came together. The various clicpies, the rich and the
poor, Xortlicrners and Southerners, the nohs and the neglected, all
somehow felt at ease with Kmmerton and Waters, and I wonder
how they found a chance to study in the influx that passed over their
hospitahh; threshold. The atmosphere was delightful, though over-
thick often with tobacco snmkc. A\'aters indeed smoked little, if
e^■er ; but lunmerton, of burlier mould, maintained a pi[)e whose
capacious bowl lunied always with some strong mixture. Mv own
lips had never been protancd by cigar or meerschaum, but when in
a momentary la[>se Ironi vntiie 1 applied once to Kmmerton for a
pi[)e, he proviiled me, with a smile I thought benignant but which
was only mischievous, with a blind of the blackest and strongest.
I took a whiif or two with conseipiences so dire that I never tried
to smoke a^X'iin till I reached the ajj^e of seventv-fonr. As now at
eighty I puil' serenely, I ponder whether I should bless or regret
that old experience. Did it healthfully shut me olF for sixty years

from (i ymall time- and pence-consuming vice, or was T tluFi and
there co/ened out ot a pleaisant solace that mi;,dit have Iduntrd the
edge for me of many a raesping (|nan(h»r> ? Though a hit (dou<Iv.«l,
the atmoiJj)here in nliich tlicise Saieni chums were invohed was never
otherwise than kuid antl whohsome. 1 hry were hihiriou>, l>ut al-
ways clean in tlicir waliv and Cijuversation, ex('mj>hu'y in the ii- ideals,
encouragers of scholarshi]) as well as guod-ti.lluw.-»hi[), an<l tor their
own coMilort perhaps too kindly bympalhetic. Waters was never
anything in those days hut " Fitz," as our claj?smate Phillips Brooks
was usually "Phillips"; and I recall a fre^hman hon mot which may
be worth recording. A question arising as to the adecpiaey of our
chiHb for some emeigency, some one detiantly exi'lainu'd : " \\ ith
AN'aters we'll give them iits, and with Hrot^ks well give them fillips ! "
I went several times to Waters's home in Sahnn, the oKl .>t.aport
which sixty years ago still retained nmch ol the t-haracter that had
marked it in the days of" IJilly Ciray " and " King l)erhy." Stout
little shi])s lay at the wharves with cargoes ot palm-oil, cocoanuts,
and lOast Indian tissues from the Orient, and hlull', \veather-ljeaten
boys of my own age, with old Salem names, paced the decks, unites
and supercargoes, sometimes before the mast, already veteran sailors,
incipient captains in a world-encircling commerce. The old Ka.?t
India Museum, pungent with strange 6i)icy odors, di.><played what
to an inland hoy like myself was a wonderful show — curious t'aijrics,
things mar\ellously carved and lacquered, strange monsters of the
sea and land, queuetl and turhaned counterfeits of far-away mag-
nates and merchants. On the shore stood the famous custom-h<»use,
whose presiding spirit a few years before had been Nathaniel Haw-
thorne. You found in the homes, in air faintly fragrant with sandal-
wood, oriental tapestries, uncouth bric-a-brac, models of n(jial)le
ships that had fought pirates in the China seas or foundered amid
typhoons — these housed in colonial structures, ipiaint and graceful .
The home of \\ aters had distinctly the Salem marks, and the
household was representative. His lather had had an honorable
career as magistrate and editor, and his intelligence was pervaded
with pleasant humor. His mother was a gentle and stately lady
of the old s(;hool, by birth and breeding informed with the town's
best traditions. 1 recall as particularly interesting my classmate's
elder brother Jose[)h, indeed a most friendly and vivacious character.
He beLj;an his career as the '' Collector's Junior Clerk " in the custom-
house, under Hawthorne, and figures as such in the famous prologue
to the Scarlet Letter. In a dare-devil adventure he had at one time
penetrated to a wihl and outlandish settlement called Chicago.
Keturning safely thence, he never after lett Salem, 1 think, (juite
content that henceforth Caj)e Ann and ]\larblehead should boun«l
his excursions. He was charming in his naive limitations, a good
story-teller, and overtlowing in kind otiices. I remember to this
day a dish of his own concocting, set off w ith Kast Indian curry, a

condinicnt tlicn little known, of which I had never heard. There
wan Htran^e drink altio, of* equally remote derivation. The novel
and tooth.soine fare, the repartee, anecdote, and laughter whi(!h per-
vaded the strange aromatic riteani, thchroad ^(xjd-heartedneHS, inter-
fused with honest and innocent parochinl enthusiasm, made it a true
Salem repast, typical and diTi«:;htt'ul. .My classmate was very happy
in his home environment, and I can see now that the hoy was father
of tlie man.
Things associated with history interested him as they did me.
Here as in most ways our tastes were congenial. We were good
walkers, and tram[icd together untiring to the historic spots. He
showed me Gallows Hill, where the witches were hanged, and the
brid«;e where the Salemites claim that armed resistance to British
authority was made hefore the Concord hght. We tramped rr)und
the hay to the old fort, which sheltered the Conatitntifjnj fleeing
before the Knglish fleet in the War of l^il2, and j)ondered the
scratches on the old desk, made hy Hawthorne's penknite as lie
evcdved the tragedy of poor Hester Prynne. Once, while crossing
a street, he called my attention to a cobhlestone in the pavement of
the gutter which his foot had just i)ressed. "I always trod on that
paiticular stone," said he, "going to and coming from school thnjugh-
out my boyhood, and it would hurt me to tread on any other as I
cross," a small crop})ing-out of the; steadfastness and method which
served him to such good purpose later.
.\t graduation no one of our men was more universally liked and
res[)ecte(l than he. Others surpassed him in scliolarshi[), though
here he was sound and broad. There were brilliant tellows who
shone later in fields more uirectly under the world's iTJ^ze than the
one he chose, but we all coufuhcl in the warm heart and good head
of Fitz. Nathan was not fraid<er or more fearless with ''Thou
art the man " tlian he was, if a eomjianion slipped. He heartened
the desponding and acclaimed without envy the successful, a concil-
iator in (piarrels and a counsellor to men per[)lexed. He was truth-
ful, often bluntly so, and insincerity in others withered under his
word and gaze.
AVaters's chief fault, perhaps, was a lack of aud)ltion. After
graduation he studieil for no profession, but without definite aim
opened in the fall of 1855 a little })rivate school in Salem, of which
he continued in charge until, compelled by illness to lay aside
all business, he gave it up, 1 May 1«':<59, to his old master, ()liver
Carlton, Ksq. He remained without employment untd the fall of
18GI, when he gave proof of his devotion to the cause of the Union
by enlisting as a corporal in Co. F, Twenty-Third Ivegiment of
Massachusetts Volunteers.* He went to North Carolina in the

Dr. Clayton A. Cowgill of Dehiware, nntil Dr. ('owgill was trans-
ferred to the charge of tlie Stanly (ieneral Hospital. There being
no likeiiliood that he would ever again be fitted for active service in
the tield, ^\ aters gave up his corporal's warrant in tavor of one of
his connadt's in Co. F, and was retained as the clerk of Dr. ( 'ow;/ill
while the latter fdled the various ollices of surf^eon in char'^e of the
Stanly (ieneral Hospital, of acting medical inspector and su])erin-
tendent of all the hospitals in North Carolma, and tinally of surgeon
in charge of the Foster (ieneral Hospital, into which all the ht)?pitals
in Newbern had been merged. At the expiration of his term of
service, 28 Septend)er 18(31, ^Vaters, although he had received his
"discharge" and was free to return to his home, felt that his further
services in the hospital were needed, and disregarding the personal
risk which he ran, he continued them without })ay, until he was
prostrated in the following month by yellow fever, which had been
raging violently in Newbern since the first week in August of that
year. A\'hen he began to convalesce, he was sent to Morehead
C'ity, by the seashore, where on the very next day he had a relapse
and was reduced so low^ that he was reported dead in Xewi)ern.
Nevertheless, havin<if re«j:ained a little streni>th and havinir learned
that Dr. Cowgill had been taken down with the fever, \\'aters went
back to Newbern to render what little service he could. On Dr.
CowgilTs recovery, as \\'aters still remained "weak and almost good
for nothing'* (to use his own words), he determined to return to
the North, and left Morehead City 5 Novend)er 1<SG4 by steamer
for New York. Late in Deccndjcr of the same year he started again
for the South, going to St. Helena Island, near Ik^aufort, S. C.
There he was induci'd by his friend, (^apt. Joseph A. Cioldthwait,
port connnissary at F)eaufort, to accej)t tor a time the position of
chief clerk in his oflice. Sherman had just taken Savannah, and
was making preparations for his march through the Carolinas, so
that A\'aters and his assistants had })lcnty of work, as, although few
in nund)er, they were obliged to provision the whole Army of the
Tennessee. Finally, in May 18()0, AVaters came back to the North,
and, although he had borne arms A>r iiis countrv and had defied
disease that he might minister to the inmates of the hospitals, he per-
sistently refused, witli delicate honor, to receive a pension, in ^[^ite
of the exigencies of later years. We met after a ten years' sep-
aration, at C\unbridge, on Commemoration Day in 1S05. Our
class had done well for the country. Our soldiers were twenty-four

strode togctiuT in the di^niity of our chfvronjj, for the la-t time
in onr army hlue, to the beat of the dimn.
The o(!cnpations of ^^'aters now for a de< ade or so seemed to
thohe not clode to him to be, for the 8t ron;^ man that he wa8, 8(jme-
what trillinLC Jmd desidtory. He had no re^nilar vocation, en^a;(ed
not earnestly in educatittnal work, collected old furnitnre, and p(»red
over old documentw. in a visiit to him in tlieae yeara I fouii<l him
transferred from \\\s old home to an ample and di;^nitied man.*)ion of

boardd, (piaint dresticrd and tables, venerable bed.-* "svith testers,
columnar clocks, andirons, warming pans, candlesticks, lo«r^er heads,
a multitarious assortment of c«»lonial belongings lar<]^e and small.
The craze for such accunudations was then not marked in the com-
munity. As a collector he was early in the lield, and had an ab-
normal acuteness and zest in detecting things rare and \ahiable.
His gracious and stately mother, now widowed, [)resided among
these venerable objects, Ji belitting environment for sui'h a beautiful
lady of the old school. Among this venerable oak and old ( hina
she moved in gown and cap of fashion as venerable ; and at her
side still stood the elder son, the ilelightful .loe, the same who had
been suspected by Hawthorne in the custom-house of writing poetry,
who had escaped unharmed t'rom his rash incursion among the bulls
and bears of remote Chicago, and had returned contentedly to his
(piii't Salem nook for a lifelong stay. l)oth he and Kitz stuck to
bacheloihood, a practice over-esteemed among genuine Salcmites.
In the case of either an all'air of the heart was luithinkablc, and yet
more jxenial and charminif men never as hosts welcomed a friend.
A\'aters was full of stories. This fine wainscoting had revealed
itself after he had painfully for days scraped off layers of disHguring
paint, and that rare bit he had detected built into a hencoop in an
ancient shed. The prizes which connnonly stimulate men, fame
and fortune, had no lure for him, but the odd iish was finding his
appropriate water. iMumerton, always his friend, a kin<lred spirit
and close at hand, had stud'ed medicine, but had soon forsaken it
as a profession. 'J'here were old parish registers and court files long
pigeon-holed, which it might l)e worth while to go through. Km-
merton turned to that task, and findinii that the stores at hand
yielded a good result, he went to England to seek further.
In all this work AVaters was his close associate. These two
friends spent several months in England in the summer and autumn

" at some future time he endowed with tuiids suflicient to enable it
to maintain an accredited agent in the motlur country constantly
enjjaircd in such researches as these."
Two years later, on 3 October 1882, at a meeting of the lioard
of Directors of the New Kngland Historic Genealogical Society, Mr.
Ilassam returned to the subject of genealogical work in Kngland,
ami spoke *' u[)on the desiiability, since the death of Col. Chester,
of having a C()mj>ctent person in Jjondon to make genealogical re-
searches for the Knglish ancestry of American families." He stated
that several persons had expressed a wish that Mr. Waters, who
was at that time a member of the Publishing Committee of the So-
ciety, could be induced to take up his residence in liondon and eii-
i;a<ie in such researches, and he was able to announce to the Board
that Mr. Waters hail olfered to devote his time to the investiiration
of the Knglish peiligrees of American families, if $lf)0() a year for
three years could be secured to him. On Mr. Hassam's motion a
committee was appointed, consisting of Mr. Hassam himself, of Hon.

to open a subscription to raise the money, if they deemed it advis-

The sul^scription lists started by the committee were circulated

many leadin»^ nuinbers of the Massachusetts Historical Soc.'iety not
only manitcbtcd the warmest interest in Waters's researches but
were ever ready to contribute towards dcfravin<; the ex|)onse of the

vidual contributor to the fund was flames Junius Cioodwin, LT..1).,
of Hartford, ('onn., while the alumni of Harvard ( 'olle«^e and (•»-
pecially the Harvard (,'lub of New York furni>hcd the means for
carrvin*; on the search for the ancestry of JcJm Harvard.
\Vaters now entered fairly into the labors which he made so fruit-
ful. On T) ^May 18(S3 he sailed on tin; Catftlunid from Ho{?ton for
England, and at once began his researches in Somerset House,
London. In the RncJiSTEii for .Inly l^S.S.'^ were printed the results
of his first few days of work among the records of the Prerogative
Court of C'anterl)ury ; and from that time down to and including
the issue for ,Ianuary 1^S99 every numl)cr of the IvKGIster except
three (those for October 1HI)7 and for .July and October ISIIS)
contained an article from his pen end)odying the results of his
researches amouLT the l''n<di^h records. These articKs, witli the
exception of tlie two entitlctl "John HarNaid anil his Anccbtry,"
appeared under the headiuLX of " (ienealoirical (ilcaninj;s in I^n<x-

with an introduction by Mr. Hassan), of which freijuent use has
been made in preparing parts of this memoir.
AN'aters's methods of research were very ditferent from those of

Mau8., the anti(piary mentions i»is " laborious hut fascinating work,
in ti»c gh)omy cellar of Somerset House, of exhuming the records
of a huried past," and refers to his mctliod of research as follows :
"1 take the records consecutively, looking over each page and mak-
ing such references as seem worth noting. I occasionally make
excursions when the trail seems hroad and clear, .... I>ut I in-
tend generally to (M)nfine myself to the period a little hefore the
niiirrations of 1<)2*S-JU) and the next half century. "t 1>\' far the
greater part of the time spent hy Waters in iOngland wa.-i devoted
to this rea(lin<^ of the wills in Somerset House. He seldom vi.-iited
other depositories of records — at any rate he did little work out>idc
of London, except when now and then some great fpiest, such as
his search for the ancestors of John Harvard, called him to other
fields. "Here [in Somerset House], "contimied Prc>sidcnt Goodell
in the remarks from which 1 have already (pioted, " hy his special
skill in interpreting the records, and the generous interest he mani-
fested in the labors of others whom he there found eniia^jed in bim-
ilar researches, and the aid he ever cheerfully afforded to these co-
workers, he soon began to enjoy exceptional opportunities for prose-
cuting his labors with the greatest economy of time, and secured the
cooperation of his fellow-workers, who generously reciprocated his
attentions to their wants."!
The Nvorld minimizes too much the value of such pursuits. The
Chinese worship of ancestors is of course an absurdity, and among
us there are |)erhai)s some who take pains overmuch in running back
lines of descent. Hut heredity, in conjunction with environment,
in great part determines that we are what we are, and surely it is
interesting and most instructive, in one's own case and in the case
of eminent men, to trace the links of the chain through which mys-
teriously the present derives from the past its vitality and soul.
A^ atcrs was born for such work. He told me once that nothinjj
a[)[)ealed to iiim so intensely, no novel or poem or strain of music
or work of art, as the dusty documents which were the means to
the ends he B0uu:ht. These he read literallv bv the hundred thou-
sand, and no detective ever caught more acutely at the obscure clues
in an investijration or followed evidence with iudLrment more unerring;.

investigation, his work in settlinic the douhts as to the ancestry of
George \\ ashington, and the conclusive proof which he furnished in
regard to the ancestry of Roger W illiams. His Harvard investiga-

James Savage, the well-known author of the (.ienealogical Diction-
ary, stated that he would ghully have given five hundred dollars to
get five lines about John Harvard, and C'ol. Chester carried about
with him daily for many years a bit of Harvard pedigree in the hope
of being able to perfect it ; but Waters was the first to show beyond
any doubt that flohn Harvard was a sc^n of liobert Harvard and

of the K'Kc.isrKit AN'aters told the marvellous story of the untan^ding
in full. He epitomized it simply and lucidly tor the llnrcard
(f /•(((/ (Kfte.s* M(t</<(2inf.* I have heard him ^nvc it to an audience,
without vainglory, with j)leasant humor, with convincing logic.
Several times in ])rivate 1 discussed with him the more interesting
points. "Fitz,"l once said to him in substance, "you have bmught
us to the threshold of something magnificent ; but there you leave
U8. Cio bevonil your documents a little, trusting yourself to cir-
cumstantial evidence. Thomas and Alice l\ogers, grandparents of
John Harvard, lived for fifty years, with their houscludd. side by
side with »)ohn and Mary Shakspcre, parents of AVilliani Shakspere,
and their houseludd, under conditions which made an intimacy inevi-
table. J'he fathers were in the same call in ji: in the little borout^h
of possibly two thousand souls, sat together on the same bench
as aldermen, became each in his turn bailiff or mavor. Their
>vives were close neighbors, members of the same parish, in the
register of which the births, marriages, and deaths of the two house-
holds are written down on the same page. The boys, of course,
would i^o tofrether to the old Kimr I'Mward VI n-rJ^nimar school, of
which their fiithers as magistrates were otiiciallv trustees, and the
girls and boys must have played together in the Avon meadows.
A\'illiam Shakspcre, to be sure, went to London the year Katlurine
Rogers, the mother of John Harvard, was born, and could have had
no knowlcdire of her as a child. liut we know that a decade or so
later he bought New Place, and was in the wav of coniin;r baik to
Stratford tor sojourns that grew longer and more fre<picnt, until at
last it became once more his home. Inevitablv, in restoring New
Place, he must have had an interest in the handsome house just built
bv Thomas Koijfcrs, and who more likely to answer the knock of
such a visitor than the buddinj^: little Katherine I I can see the younfj

maid and the luiddlc-a^od man confVontin*^ each other aeruHs the
(looratep. She must liave heen pretty, and couM, moreover, hope
for a wuhstantial dowry. \\ hat more likely than that Shakbperc,
goin^ back to the Glolie Theatre, at Southwark, nhonld have re|)orted
to Kohert Harvard, the yonn^' \vi<loNver, well-Chtahli.'hed and reputed
in Southwark, of the blooming, wt'll-j)ortioned girl up thcrt* in the
IMidland.'j, awaiting her fate ! If Robert Harvard lent a willing ear,
we know that Shakapere was ju.st the man to Herve as a go-between.
ThroULih the remarkable unearthiu'ra of Professor AN'allaee, we know
that in these same months the poet, a lodger at the time with a
wigmaker, and a genial friend in the huml)K: family, had a hand in
making a mateh between his host'd daughter Mary and the apprentice
Stephen Ikllott. If Shakspere <litl this for Stephen and Mary, why
should he not do the same good turn for lujbert and Katherine?
Southwark and Stratford are a hundred miles apart, a space not
often traversed by the humbler folk in those untaverned and roadless
times. One man wc know did j^o and come rij^ht from the eaves of
Kobert Harvard's shop in Southwark to the doorstep of the liouse in
the Stratford High Street. One would say that there must liave
been an intermediary. Who more likely for that than Shaksjicre,
good mixer that he was with plain Londoners and Warwickshire
rustics, however he may have exploited upon his stage the heights
and depths of human experience? There are no documents for all
this," 1 said, " but consider the circumstances. Can you not tread
on these to conclusions? Here is our dear Harvard. Her unique
asset is her antiquity. Other universities may surpass her in wealth,
in number of students, in distinction of teachers, possibly even in
football, but no other university in this country can go back for her
ori«2:in throuirli eiyfht j^cnerations, jjenerations which cherished her
with love and enriched her with the noblest traditions. Now, what
new^ dignity would be im])arted to this past of Harvanl, already so
precious and solemn, could we but link the founder with the greatest
name in literature ! Is it documents only that can pave the path for
you to a conclusion, and will no accumulation of circumstances give
you proper footing?" In unfolding my scheme I had warmed into
a glow, which AVatcrs, quiet in his easy chair, met with a cold un-
sympathetic smile. His words were few, and tliis was their purport.
"These are only pleasant and picturesque speculations, possibilities
rising here and there perha|)s to the size of likelihoods, but all un-
substantial. There is no solltl documentary fact beneath your
structures, and without that they are only might-have-beens, and
with might-have-beens, however glittering, I have nothing to do."
It was an instance of the restraint, rooted in invincible integrity,
which he always showed in his investigations, and which was as
much a part of him as were the acuteness and boldness with which
he leaped to a result w hen once he had obtained a satisfactory ttoO gto)
from which to make his spring. He inexorably demanded that.

It ini^lit be in itself as j)oor a ecrup as liis Salem cobblestone. His
instinct told liiui at onec it* it were >vt'Il-basr<l and gave a firm hold,
and tl«en he eould utilize it memorably.
It lias been sujriTested that a portrait of Waters on;/bt to lian^ in
some hall of Harvard University. It is indeed fitting, and the artist
should be one of skill. There are two moments in his Harvard in-
vestigation whieh admit of dramatic portrayal. The iire>t is the anti-
quary standing bare-headed in the eofli-e-room of the ancitnt (Queen's
Head Inn, in Southwark, and drinking a niug of London "bitter"
to the memory of the mother of .John Harvard. It happened on a
M(Hj(lay morning. He had, the Saturday before, madij certain that
the g(jod mother, the possessor of this inn, had becpieatlied it as
the principal item of his inheritance to her much-loved son. From
the proceeds of its sale came mainly the little fortune, "the moiety"
of which a few years later ke[)t alive the small moribund school es-
tablished in New lMi<;land in 103(3. The inn remained unchan<xed.
The identification was complete. As he used to tell the story, he
made no secret that his soul was full of exultation, and we may be
sure that his countenance reflected it, as in hinnely, sincere fashion
he paid his homage. Still better, perhaps, as the subject of u pic-
ture would be the identification at Stratford of the ''Old Ibju.-'C in
the High Street." Arriving at Stratford (as lie told iu»; the
story), the anti(piary, having by a marvel of ingenuity made out
Katherine Harvard's connection with that })lace, called on Dr. Ar-
buthnot, rector of thc parish, who at W aters's recpiest to examine
the register said: "You are aware, sir, that our register is the
most iiii[)ortant one in England." \\ aters convinced him of" his
appreciation of that fact, and also of his competency and trustworth-
iness. " You may examine it," said the rector, " but it can only
be done under surveillance. The sexton alone can attend to that,
and he must remain at the door of the church to admit the visitors
to Shakspere's grave." The condition was accepted, ami \\'aters
stood throughout the day, at the back of the church, the precious
register resting on a pew-rack, while he conned it page after page.
He found abundant mention, side by side with the Shaksperes, of
Thomas and .Vlice Rogers and their household, and at last the })lain
record of the marriaiie of their dau'diter Katherine to Robert liar-
yard, ^\'as tliere anything more to learn? Shutting up the book,
tired but happy, he went out into the village street and paused, as
thousands had done, before the "Old Ilou:?e," with its (piaiut and
handsome Tudor front. No one knew its story. The carved char-
acters on the crossbeam below the gable, T K loDG A R, were,
and had always been, as long as men remembered, an enigma. As
he scanned them in the afternoon light, w ith his niiud excited by
what the register had revealed, it flashed upon him as by some spirit-
ual suggestion that the initials stood for John Harvaril's grandpar-
ents, and that over that threshold the mother, Katherine, liad gone

I have written of mv old friend out ot" my heart, and natiirallv of
his occupation in his spetnal ticld, to which his taste so strouLflv drew
him and where his ahility was so marked. ^Vhsorhed thous^h he
seemed here, shut oil' from men in alcoves and dusthins, he was
nevertheless a man widely and tenderly sympathetic. ThouLih with-
out family ties, he had a genius lor tVieiid>hip, and no iViend could
he kinder or truer. He was alive in a largo sense to the pre>ent.
I'he Sp*anish \\ ar and the Roer Way were followed hy him with
lively interest and with manifest disap[)roval. In these later years
he was perfcrvidly a peace man, incongrnoiLsly and rather amusingly
nulitant in his aihocacy ; and in his anti-imperialism not even his
townsman of a century ftijo, rimothy Piikcrinir, denounciuLr the
purchase of Louisiana, surpassed his wrath ovtr our ]MCseiit-day
expansion. I locked arms with him on Conuncncement Day, 11H3,
under the windows of Ilollis, where sixty-two years hefore I had
known him lirst. I noted sadly that his form \va3 hcnt, and that
he was slow of speech and step. I felt that I should never again
behold in life a man than whom I have never known one more just,
more sweet with tine humanities, more sim[dy and squarely true.

INIr. Savage's characteristics were straightforwardness, ])unctual-
ity, accuracy, and " uncompromi.sing <lirectness." He had a ^trong
religious faith, and was unswervingly devoted to his country. His
conversation was full of oddities of speech, but with all his impulsive-
ness of feeling and manner he *' was ever quick to cover with humor
and iTood nature the shafts he sent."

Pittsburg, Pa., where he arrived 26 Jan. 1818. Thence he pro-
ceeded to lA>ui.sville, Ky., and the next few years were pasfted in
New Orleans, New York, Cincinnati, Ixmisville, Lexington, Ky.,
and St. lyouis, Mo. In the summer of 1^20 he and his Hrst wife
went to Harnstable, where Mrs. Savage remained until her death ;
but businesti required Mr. Savage's return to St. Louis in the fall
of 182C, and he w:is there when the news of Mrs. Savage's death,
in the spring of 1827, reached him — a shock from which he never
fully recovered. In the autumn of 1828 he was at Barnstable, in
Oct. 1828 he went to New York, and in the same autumn he formed
a partnership with his brother-in-law, O. N. Hostwick, in St, Ix)uia,
which continued until Juue 18i5o, although failing health necesai-
tated several trips to Barnstable and a residence of nearly a year at
Tivoli-ou-the-IIudson, N. Y. He left St. Louis in June 1/^.io to
receive medical treatment in New York, an<l soon after went to
Tivoli, where, with the exception of a three-months' trip to St.

returned to Jamaica, where he probal.ly remained until 18l.'i. In

he was at Oroton, Mass., where he passed the winter with the family
of Dr. Amos Bancroft, whose wife (1 1, i, 1) was John Savai:e's first

daui^hter of Hicbard* and Sarah (l\'rry) of Dublin, Ireland, who
later took up their abode in I'liiladelphia. This m:irria;:e was so dis-
tasteful to Savajxe's father, who had arrani:(d for a union between his
son and his cousin, that upon the receipt of the news he immediat«ly
disinherited him. Althouiih Mrs. Savage's older sister app«'ared
w ith success upon the Philadelphia staiie, it is ])robable that she her-
self did not lon;^ remain upon it. She was in Boston in the early sum-
mer of 1815, and she and her husband made their first appearance
upon the stage at the Federal Street Theatre in that city. In Nov.
following they were in Philadelj»bia, and Savage, taking the |>art of
Charles Dudley in li. Cumberland's comedy of The West Indian,
made his debut upon the l*liiladelphia stage at the Chestnut Siiett
Theatre, 27 Nov. 181.'). In 181(; and 1817 Savag<' with his wife
and cliildren was in Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Lexington, and Louis-
ville, and he was a member of a theatrical company appearing in
these and other towns; but the death, in Nov. 1816, of his only
brother ended his father's ill-feeling towards him, and he was sent
for by his father and reinstated as a son. Savage and his family,
after a diflicult trij) from Ohio, down the Mississi|)|)i, arrivetl in
Jamaica early in 1818 in a much embarrassed financial condition.
Soon after his arrival he settled down as a coffee jjlanter at Lpping
Farm, in an attempt to Tnpiidate his own and bis father's debts.
]\Irs. Savage died on the plantation 15 Nov. 1821, and was buried
there beside two of her infant cliildren. In l?s23 Sava;;e sufVered
from a severe attack of yellow fever, and therefore, on the a<lvice

where with the un;;uided anlor of his country's characteristics, hein^' untraine«l iu
business habits, and possessing all the hospitable traits of Irish feeling, he fouinl him-
self in a very few years bereft of bis means. He tlied early, and left a fanulv unpro-
vided for in a strange land, with the exception of a very small annuity from freland."
(History t>f the Philadelphia Stai:e, by Charles Durang', vol. 1. chap, xlv.) Two of his
dauiihters, to assist in supporting their widowed mother and brothers and ^isters, at-
tended a school of oratory conducted by the well-known actor .James Fennell, as a
preparation for a theatrical life, and it was while Savage was attending the »amo school
that he met Miss White.

tThe Portsmouth Journal of '23 Sept. 1848 states that she was about tliirty years of
ago and a native of l>erry. Tlie accident occurred about half j^ast seven o'clock near
the so-called *' Chair," but she was not washed from the Chair itself. She was out with
others to watch the very heavy surf. The popular tale that others have been washed
from the Cluiir appears to have only this foundation, that in 1864 Eveline Caswell of
Ciosport and Lydia Varrel of Rye together were washed olT the rocks, but below this
place and nearer to Southern Point.

[The pages of the Records from p. 161 to p. 172 have at the top the
words " Richard L. Randall, Town Clerk " and various dates in Mar. 1857.
This seems to mean that he either collected these memoranda at this time
or copied them from the damaged portion of the old book. The first part
of the existent book I take to be that portion of the old book wliich was
still ca{)able of preservation. As the new part seems to have original rec-
ords from about 1842, there must have been for a while two books of
records.]

X In 191*2 the only surviving n)eml>er of this family gave lil Nov. and 29 Jan. as cor-
rect dates for this recortl, and called Alfred P. Cu^well Perry A. Caswell, a form which
docs not nuite ut^ree with that used elsewhere in these records. The Hannah M.Cas-
well of this list is the one called Hannah Maria Titcomb Caswell on p. 3.i of these rec-
ords. I have recently found an e.xnlanation of this name in the presence of Miss M.
Titcomb as one of the teachers at Ciosport in the summer of 1831.
\ She was the widow of Samuel Haley, son of " Captain Sam " and grandson of the
first Samuel Haley of Smutty Nose.

In Rkgistkr, vol. G7, pp. 2()1-2G2 (.July \^J\^), certain roconis pir-
taiiiin*; to tlu; l^onuToys of Hcarninstcr, co. Dorset, were piiMi-licMl, aii«l it
was stated that the claim made by deseeiulants of Klt\ve«<l Pomeroy, the
emigrant to New Kngland, that he was closely related to a famous
armorial family of the name in Devon, seemed baseless. It is the purpose
of this connnunication to present further evidence hearing on the alleged
descent of Eltweed Pomeroy from the Pomeroys of Herry-Pomeroy, eo.
Devon.
The Pomeroy pedigree which faces this page is u photographic rej)ror
ductit)n of fo. 10',> dorso (original fo. 85 dorso) of IlarKiaii .MS, lO'.M, in
the Department of Manuscripts in the British Museum, London, this MS.
containing the Visitation of Devon in loG-l by William Ilarviy, C'lannceux
King-of-Arms. It has been proved that tlu; Pomeroy family of this ])hoto-
graplu;d j)i'digree was a younger branch of the very ancient armigerous
family of Pomeroy of Berry- Pomeroy, co. Devon. In this photograph,
near the bottom and above the btamp of the IJritish Museum, the pt-digree
ends with two brothers, Henry and dohu Pomeroy, sons of Hichard and
Eleanor (Coker) Pomeroy, and to the name of Henry Pomeroy a syml)ol
iudicatinir marria;re is attached, with a depending line that sui^i'ests that
he had descentlants whose names are not given in th»' ptnligree. The
followin^r records show who some of these descendants were.
In the Visitatiou of Devon in 1620 Arthur Harrys entere»l a Harrys
pedigree, which is reproduced below. The original drafts made by the
heralds for that visitation are preserved in Ilarleian MSS. 1 I (Jo and 1164
in the British Museum, anil were printed in 1872 in vol. 6 of the Publi-
cations of the Ilarleian Society, the Harrys pedigree appearing ou p. 139
of that volume.

which is over seventy miles northeast from Cornworlhy. A*j the loreiioini'
reeords prove that these; two Kiehaid Pomeroys wi-re not identical, tlie
jMMJi^reti i^iven in tlni History and Genealo^jy of tlie Pomeroy Family
breaks down, and at j)resent nothing' is known of the ancestry of iru-hanl
Pomeroy of Reaminster, the father of KItweed. The descent of Kit weed
Pomi'roy from the armorial family of Pomeroy of H«*rry- Pomeroy is,
therefore, entirely conjectural, and aeoordin<; to herahlic usai,'e the de-
scendants of KItweed Pomeroy have no rii;ht to l)ear the Pomeroy arms
until the <lescent from the armorial family has been established.
Considerable work has been done in an elfort to find the true ancestry
of Richard Pomeroy of IJeaminster, co. Dorset, the latlier of KItweed
Pomen)y. Ki'dity Pomeroy estates previous to IG/jO are refernd to in
the calendars of the various probate courts at Exeter, co. Devon, but the
docunuMits pertainin<x to thirty-four of these estates are missing ; abstracts
have been made of the papers relatiui^ to the remainini; forty-six estates.
Ti»e general jirobate records for co. Dorset, now preserved at Hlandford,
do not bei^in until about 1 (ICO. Wills of manv testators, belon^ini' to
various families of Heaminster, Netherbury, Symond.ibury, and other

has been de)ne in searching the registers of parishes around Heamiii.-ter.
No deliuite results have been obtained ; but the region around Ht'amin>ler
teems with yeoman families uameil Pomeroy, an«l at least two iiichards
have been found, either one of whom may possibly have been identical
with Kichard the father of Eltweed. — K. F.]

The records given ])y Miss French in this article destroy the particular
heraldic line of ancestry that has been claimed for Kliweed Ponienjy.
WIh tiler or not he was in any other wav a descendant of the Norman
armorial family of Pomerov of Herry-Pomeroy can with our present
knowledire neither be alhrmed nor denied. In America a ^reueral miscon-
ception exists that all ptjrsons bearing the same place-surname, such as
Pomeroy, Skipwiih, lU-rkeley, and the like, are descemlants of the Nor-
mnn lords of that j)lace in Kngland. In reality, however, throughout
England, at the time (about liJOU) when the common people began to
assume hereditary surnames, many peasants of Anglo-Saxon or British
origin and without surnames, whose ancestors were serfs of these Norman
landlonls, on removing from their native places took the names of these
places as family names, and bei'ame the progenitors of yeoman families
>Nliich bore surnames derived from place-names but were not descentled
from the Norman lords of those places. Eltweed Pomeroy niay have been
descended in some junior line from the Norman armorial faujily of Pome-
roy of Berry-Pomeroy, but on the other hand ho may not have been of
tlieir blood at all. — J. Gaudnku Baktlktt.]

1().*)0, A(;NKb Tki(;(; or Tuir.<;s, daugliter of .lolin Trigg, Tricks,
or Trix, of Totnes.* About 1602 lu; emigrated to Salem, Mass.,
sailing from Dartmouth in the ship NalhdnicI, .lohn Adams, mast«r,
as the following deposition of Nicholas Bart let and Damaris I'hip-
peuy states: "2 September 170(5, Nicholas Hartlet aged eighty bix
years and Damaris l^hippcny aged fifty nine years depose that forty-
four years airo they came to New Kn^land in the ship Nutlt(tnitl of
Daitmoulh, .John .Vdams master, antl with them came Christopher
liabbidge of Tatness, son of lioger and Hester Hal)bagt' ; that the
said ( ■iiristoi)her had three brothers named Richard, Uoger, and
.lohn, and a sister done; that he served his time with George
Markes, tailor, of Tatness, that he married Agnes Triggs of Totness,
and that deponents were his next neighbors there." (Notarial
Records, Salem, Mass;, vol. 1, }). 61.) There were numerous liart-
letts in Totnes, but no Nicholas liartlett appears in the registers.
Nor did I tind about 16 47 any child of any family who was christened
*• Damaris." 1 strongly suspect that the deponent Damaris Phip-
j)eny, then wife of Joseph Phippeny and formerly wife of Thom;is
Scarle, was Damaris Bartlett, and a daughtt-r of Nicholas Partlett.
Agues (Triggs) Babbage died at Salem 17 Nov. 1667; and Chris-
topher liabbage married secondly, o C)ct. 1674, Mrs. II.\nnaii
(Jkwktt) Caulkto.v, daughter of Joseph and Mary (Mallinson),
and widow of ,Iohn of Haverhill. Christopher Babbagef was living
as late as 1711.
• For tlie Trij^fxs family vide infra, pp. 59-60.
t Charles Ilabb.ige, Uic tMninent inatliciu:itician, born in or no.ir Totnes 26 Dec.
1792, sou of licnjainiu lJ.kbbag«;, was doubtless of the same family as Chri&topber

THE LINCOLNSHIRE ORIGIN OF SOME EXETER
SETTLERS
By Victor Channino .Sanborn, Ksq., of Kenilworth, III.
Lincoln Minster staniltj, if not ttiJi)renie, at leas^t in the front
rank of English cathedralw. Its arehiven form a treasure house of
liistorical material, as douhlless do those of many another episcopal
see. But the diocese of Lincoln fortunately has in Canon Foster
an antiquary whose energy and ability have made this vast store of
records accessible to the student, 'i'he genealogist will inevitably
com[)are these Lincoln records with those of many other dioceses,
greatly to the disadvantage of the latter. It is earnestly to be
hoped that before it is too late the local authorities of other dioceses
will cause their archives to be arranged in the same systematic
manner.
It is owing to Canon Foster's labors and courtesy that I am able
to present these notes gleaned in a visit to Lincoln last summer.
The transcripts of Lincolnshire parish registers exist from an early
period. T^hey supplement to a great degree the local registers, where
these have disai){)eared wholly or partially in the lapse of centuries.
We searchcil the transcripts of thirty parishes within a five-mile
radius of Wheelwright's own parish of liilsby. The results prove
the origin of several of our early Exeter and IIamj)ton settlers —
Cram, Dearborn, Kabone or Ilaborne, Wight, and ^Villix, and
supply new data concerning the \\'heelwrights.

Several of the American Grams have attained distinction in art, letters,
and military alVairs. They all desceml from John Gram or Gramme,
wlio is lii'st found near Boston at Muddy Kiver, where his hou.>e-lot w;is
bounded in Jan. lG37/8.t He went to Exeter with Wheelwright, and his
name is attached to the Gombination of 1G39. Later he was of Hampton.
Family genealogists have identified him with a .lohn Granj, born at
Felling in co. Durham in 1G07, sou of Burchard Gram, who was perhaps
descended from the Von Gramms., a German baronial family. This theory
has rested mainly on a lease of certain ti.sh-pools in co. Durham, said to
have been made in 1G34 by John Gram, who is therein mentioned ;is " being
about to travel to foreign parts, ' and who was entitled to his share " when
he shall have returned from over seas."
As our John Gram was one of a group of Lincolnshire men at Muddy

River and later at ExtttT jin<l namptoij, and Jia the name of Cram is still
found in Jiineolnshire, I ({ncstioned this presnnied idcntitieation.
Kirst, I found the will (of which an abstract is ^ivi.-n alM)Ve) of ThomaA
Crainhe of liilshy, datrd in IG.'5Hand n»('nti()nin«^ a son .John. Then the
Hilshy transcripts whowed th«' haj)li.snj of this son John in 16*JG/7 an<l Iuh
marria«^e in 1()21 to Ksther White. Tin; \Villou;;hhy transcripts disclosed
a (connection hetween tlntse Crams an<l the ^Vh^'(•lwri-;hts. Finally, in the
transcripts of Furlslhorpe, the next parish to IJilshy, I found the baptism
of "Joseph the sonne of .John Crame and Ib-aster his wife " in 1C.'j2 — the
very son Joseph who was drowned at Exeter in New England 24 June
1G18.
Hell (piotes from some Exeter record, which I cannot identify, the death
of this son Joseph, d<*scribin<; him as *' aged li) years, the son of John and
r.ide. Cram." On the strength of this Hell and I'ope credit our J(diu
Cram with a lirst wif«', l^dia, besides the wife Hester with whom he lived
so many years. Luckily the death of this son Joseph is al.>o entered in
the old Norfolk County records,* and there he is called ".losepth, 80u
of John and Hester C'ram." Thus the alleged Exeter record is proved to
be a mere scrivener's error, and the identification of our John Cram with
the John of Hilsby and Farlsthorpt.' is complete.
He was undoubtedly the Kon of Thomas Cram or Crambe of Hilsby, and
his pedigree may be thus constructed:

The Dearborns are a typical AnHM-ican family of the older class. They
were among the earlier settlers of New Hampshire, and their integrity
and sterling worth tjualitied them to conduct with ability the larger affairs
of their growing nation. The frontier |H)St bearing their name has grown
into the second larijest city of the United States. Their most distiuiruislied
member was Maj.-Gen. Henry Dearborn. A young doctor in Nottingham
Square, he raised a company of minutemen in a day after the news of

of militia, lived in more pcact'ful times, or<^anized the Ma.s.sa(hu>etU*
Horticultural Society, and laid out the beautiful Mount Auburn Cemetery
at Cambridiie.
The first of this sturdy race to come to New England was Godfrey
Dearl)t)rn, who signed Wheelwright's Combination at Exeter in HJ.'i'J.
All the earlier accounts of the family, including the excellent genealogy
printed in the Rkgistkk, vol. 2, state that (Godfrey Dearborn was born in
Devonshire in England. Where this persistttnt misstatement originated I
do not know. In the Kko lstkh, vol. GO, p. iJ08, I showed that the family
came juobably from Lincolnshire.
In the transcrij)ts of the parish registers of Hannah I found the baptisms
of the two older sons of our (iodlr«'y Dearborn, who was a weaver there.
He was the son of William I)earel)arn of Willoughby, a parish which was
the birthplace of Capt. .John Smith and gave the family name to a dis-
tinguished Lincolnshire Hue, the Lords Willoughby d'Eresby.
Curiously enouiih, the name of Derburne is also found in Somersetshire
an<l Devonshire. In Lincolnshire the name is spelie<l Dearebarne, as it is
spelled in the will of our Godfrey Dearborn, whose ])edigree may possibly
be as follows :

Anion;: tlie si^jnera of Wheelwriirht's Combination was one with the
curious name of George Rawbone, also known as Rabone or IIalH)rne.
He went with Wheelwright to Wells, hut removed to Hampton in 1G51
and (lied there before 3 Oct. IGol, when his nuneuj»ative will was proved
in the Norfolk County Court, leaving all his estate to his wife Susanna.
Thomas Level and liobert Smitii of Exeter, both Lincolnshire men, aj)-
praisrd his estate. The widow married secondly Thonias Lea<ler of Hostou,
aiul (lied in lGo7, leaving biipusts to many of the Wheelwright group,
Levet and Godfrey Dearborn witnessing her will. All this convinced me
that Rabime also was a Lincolnshire man, and 1 found in the transeripts
of liuttoft several entries which confirm that idea. From the records which
are given above it will be seen that the names Rabone and llaburne were
interehangeablo at Huttoft, which is a Lincolnshire parish within four
miles of Alford and Bilsby.
•In Phillimore's Lincolnshire Parish Registers, vol. 9, p. 60 (Huttoft Mjirriajres), is

From tliis pedi^q-ee it uj)pear8 that Hdlurt AVlieelwrii^ht of ]\Inni])y, who
died 'JG Feb. 1G21/2, was a cousin, not an uncle, of IJeV. tlolin ^^'heel-
wriglit. 'i'iure wcrt^ nt)t, therefore, as Col. Chester suppo.si-d, two brotii-
ers named Kobert Wheelwright, but an uncK' and a lu-phew of that name.
In Col. Chester's day the transcripts at Lincoln were not as carefully
arranged as they are now, for none are now niissin;;, and in several, which
have app.in'Utly been ftjund since Col. Chester nnnh' his search, there are
Whei 1\N rii;Iit records of importance. For instance, the burial of .John
Whcelwrinht's first wife is in the liilsby transcript for IG'Jli. This tran-
script was supi)osed to be missing, and from its non-appearance the support-
ers of the " \Vheelwri;iht Deed" claimed that .John Wheelwrii;ht nii^lit
have been in New England in that year. In fact, it is in the tile, and is
signed, like others, ",Iohn Whelewright, vicar."
The record of the baptism of Susanna '\Vhel(wright in 1 G2.S is also a
new discovery. It was she who married Kdward Ivish worth. Previously
])rintrd pedigrees have stated that her husl)and was a son of the Kdward
Kisiiworlii of the Exeter Combination, but I believe that in fact lur hus-
band was the ori'Mual Exeter settler.
Attention has already been called to the connection shown in the tran-
scripts between the Crams and the AVheelwrights.
It is worth noting that the land in Mawthorpe, parish of Willoughby,
which "Wheelwright lK)ught tVom Francis Levet (I\i:(;iSTr.ij, vol. G7, pp.
C)G-G7) wasactjuir.d during Wheelwright's last vi.«^it to England, in 1G.)8.
At this date Francis Levet, who is ilescribed in ^Vheelwrll:ht's deed to
Crispe as a "gentleman, of North Willingham," had not taken onlers, and
therefore couhl not be called a clergyman. !My theory is that this Francis
Levet was an own cousin of Thomas. Levet of Exeter and Hampton.

Thomas W^iglit, one of the signers of the Exeter Combination, is con-
sidered by Savage to be a Thomas Wright, but wherever the name appears
in autograph the surname is di.^tinctly Wight and nothing else. A|)par-
ently he left no tleseendants who remained in New England. lie did not
Diove from Exeter when Wheelwright left. He appears occasionally on
the records, and was made a freeman in 1G47. After this date we find
him no more on the records, and 1 think he died about IGoO, leaving a
minor son, Israel Wight. Israel seems to have been a ward of Capt.
Ricliard Waldron of Dover, and came of age about 1004. In IGOo admin-
istration on the estate of Tiiomas Wight of P^xeter was granted by the
County Court to Israel Wiirht. Previous to his comiui; of ajie Israel had
perliaps been a servant or prot«^gt5 of Gov. Bellingham, for we find him in
1G5G witnessing a deed from Hellingham to Everill and a mortgage taken
back. At the Quarterly C-ourt in Salisbury, Apr. 1()04, Israel Wight sued
Capt. AValdron for witliholding his estate, which had been committed to
Capt. Waldron at the time when Waldron was guardian for W^ight. The
case went up to the Court of Assistants, and finally to the General Court,
which heard it in IGGG, but by this time Israel Wight had apparently left
the country.
Thomas Wight is an interesting link, for he was one of the grantees
named in the " Wheelwright Deed." The only family of the name I found
in Lincolnshire was that of Robert W^ight, a clergyman at Hareby, a

who had a wile Anne, an<l wiio was Itnricd at iMiord l.'J Fch. li'Jri/y.

three sons of the elder Hallliasar, namely, I'ert-i^rine, '22 duly l.V.K), IJal-

to the will of Haithasar W iilicU of Allord Uolicrt \\'i;ila was pt-rhajis the
fatlier of Thomas W'ii^ht of Kxeter, as we have seen; Leonard 'I'hory was
of a iiood i.incolnshire familv;and ^Villiam iMlllniiham lived at Alford,
marrii'd there, «'{ duly I (iOO, Annt-, the widow of lialthasar Williek, and
ha<l a tlaiii^liler Su>ajfna, l)aj)ti/ed tliere 1 Sept. KlOi. This dau;ihter was

wher»- he uas schooluKiMter, Iv\el« r, and Wells. William IhlJiniliam
ma<le his will 2.'> Aug. 100(1, and was huried at Alford 2 Sej»t. IGuG.*
This Hrliini-ham ci>nncclion is intercstin-s althou'di I do not lulieve
that the All'ord yeoman was closely if at all ndattd to the morose and
aristocratic; Puritan, Riehard Hellinj^ham, ncorder of Hoston in England
and trovernor of the Massachusetts Hay.
Iialiha>ar \ViHick of Alford seems to have heen a man of suhstance,
and wa^ perhaps a protcgtS of Peregrine Bertie, Lord Willoughhy d'Kres-
by. 'i'ht^ oldest son cd* this lialthasar was evidently named Peiegrine in
honor of Lord Willoughhy, and here onc^ may imlulge in theory to In-lp
ont tin; gaps in geneal(»gy. Nowhere else in I/mcohishire or in England
have I found the name of AVillick. It has a I'lemish sound. Perei^rine
Bertie was a typical Eli/.aht than nohleman, a frien«l of Siilmw, and in
command vhen the latter fell at Zutphen. Bertie was horn at Cleves, and
from L'>82 to l.VJO was almost constantly ahroad on diplomatic or military
service, mainly in IIollan<l and the Low Countries, hi 1.">'.'7 he was made
governor of Berwick ('a>tle. He dieil in lll')l, and is huried at Spil>>l>y in
Linciilnshire. It may well he that Lord \\'i!lougld»y attached tt) himself
the Flemish youth, Ballhasai' WilKch, and brought him to Englaml on
one of his numenjus visits. This would explain the fact that the name
appears nowhere else in England, and might account for the leaseholds
which lialthasar Willech of .Alford ac([nired from his lord.
Jt would be interesting to folh)w the line of Anna AVillix, one of the
daughters of Ballha/ar oi Exetir, who, according to the records prest nted
by Air. llackctt, marrii'd first IJobert Koscoe, who moved to Ixoanoke
and (lied tliere; secondly l>Iunt; thirdly Southwell; and
fourthly Cid. Lcare of Virginia. f It will be rememberi-d that Winlhrop
recites with rather too much jiarticularity the murder of the first wile of
Ballha/ar W illix of P'xcter. The rec( ntly published lih's of the old Nor-
folk ('(»iuity Court show that at the court at Hampton, 7 Sept. IGIS, Wil-
lex sue«l one Kobert Hither-ay ** lor raising an cvd r«.'port of his <leceased
wife, and for breach of promise in carrying his wife to Oyster Kivt-r in a
cauoc and not bringing her up in a canoe again." Hithersay, who roved
from Conc«>rd to I^ynn, Exeter, and York, was apparently a wayward
character, and may have been suspected of the murder.

1914] .EiKjUnh Ancestry of American Belknaps 83
THE ENGLISH ANCESTRY OF THE AMERICAN
r>EIJvNAI»S
IJy Henry Wyckukk Hklknai', Ksij., of Salcin, ^^n88.
At (liffcrciit tlmt's (liirin<( the past fifteen or eij^htecn years the
coinpihr of tluH artiele has attempted t(j iliHcover the aiice.stry of
Al)rahaiii l}('lkna[), who was a huuh)wner at Lynn, Mass., in l(j.'i5
or thereahouts, and who hrought with him, wlien he eame to New
En"'hind, his wife Mary and several eliihhen.
'J'hese efforts resulted in the aecpiisition of a considerahle amount
of information ahout a knij^htly family of Uelknaps, from Sir Jioh-
crt de Belknap, who ^vas ehief justice of the Court of Connnon
Pleas in the time of Richard II and died in 1400, down to his «(reat-
grandson, Sir Edward, who was horn in 1473, was custodian of
Warwick Castle and a [)rivy councillor of Henry \'1II, and died 2G
Mar. 15'J1, leavin<^ no sons.
The clue, however, which led to the discovery of the En«^lish
home of the ancestors of Al)raham Hclknaj) was ohtained from an
old {gentleman whose aecpiaintance was made several years at^o
throuL!;h his reply to some <^eneali)^ical (pieries. He liad formerly
lived in the [)arish of Sawhridgeworth, co. Herts, and remendjered
that the name Belknap occurred in the parish registers there. He
was employeil to make a search, and in due time [)roduced many
entries from the registers of St. Mary the (rreat, Sawhridgcworth,
together with a nund)er of wills from the (A)mmissary C^ourt of Lon-
don for Essex ami Herts. \\y piecing together the facts ohtamed
from these records an incom[)lete pedigree of the family was secured,
and a certain Hennet or Benedic't Belknap seemed most likely to be
the father of the American immigrant. Unl'ortunately, however,
the will of this particular man, while recorded as having been od'ered
for probate, was nowhere to be found, and the ollicials connected
with the i)robatc registry came to the conclusion that it had been
placed at some time in the wrong bundle and was therefore prac-
tically lost.
The search, therefore, came to a standstill until about two years
ago, when it was decided to make one more attempt to identify
positively the father of the immigrant. The services of Mr. Charles
A. Bernau of London were obtained, and he was furnished with all
the material at hand.
^Ir. Bernau began his search with the Lay Subsidy Rolls in the
Public Record Otfice in London, and there discovered that the sur-
name of the Sawbridgeworth branch of the Ikdknap family was
sometimes Beltoft or Beltofte. With this fact in mind, it was easy
to tind in the probate records the missing will of Bcnnet Beltoft,
the father of Abraham Belknap. It had been proved 15 June lt)24
by his widow Grace and his ton Josias in the Commissary Court of

EMINENT NOVA SCOTIANS OF NEW ENGLAND BIUTIl
By Uev. Arthur Wentworth Hamilton Eaton, D.C.L., of Boston, Mass.
Number Two
HON. HIBBEUT NEWTON
Hon. Hibbert Newton, one of the earliest Bostonians to settle in Nova
Scotia after its final capture from the French in 1710, was the only son of
Tliomas Newton, Esq., of Boston, who is said to have been born in Eng-
land 10 June IGGO and who died in Boston 28 May 1721. Tliomas Newton
appeared in Boston in 1G8S, Chief Justice Sewall calling him " a newcomer "
there (5 Muss. J/ist. Soc. Coll., vol. 1, p. 216). He was sworn there as an
attorney 7 June 1688; but in his own atlidavit (I'ft., vol. 1, p. 55), made
apparently in 1707, he states that he has been in New England ** for near
sixteen years last past." In Sept. 1692 he was in New Hampshire as
secretary of that province. In Boston he became a leading lawyer, l)eing
the lirst member of the legal profession in Massachusetts who was called
barrister (Rkc.ister, vol. 31, p. 206). He was employed in the investi-
gation of persons accused of witchcraft, Wiis appointed deputy-judge in the
Court of Vice-Admiralty for Miissachusetts Bay, New Hampshire, and
• Joseph' Huckius adopted as his son George M. Cross, son of Joseph and Eliza
(Batcheliiev) Cross. Georj^e M. Cross (afterwards George M. Huckius) was boru at
"VVentworth 4 July 1803, and married 31 Ar;ir. 1890 Ella S. Lamprey, boru at Orfuni 20
July I8G7, daughter of George W. aud Celinda C. (Trussell). George M. Huckius,
farmer, and wife were living at Orfordville in lUlO.

Rho(U) Island, was sworn as comptrolltir of Iler Majesty's Customs 31 Oct.
17()7, and wan appointed atLorncy-^mcral, jjioljaMy in Jinn; 1720. lie
was oiu; of the founders of Kind's Chapel, was a nn-niher of its vestry in
IGlil), and was warden in 1704 and afterwards ; and in IHoJ his ;^reat-
grandson, Hon. Kdward Augustus Newton, placed in that venerable church
a tablet to his memory.* (Annals of Kiu^^'s CInipcl, vol. 1, p. 1H2.) Ilia
will, dated G Mar. 1720/1, was prov«Ml o.lune 1721. His valuable library,
which, it was said, contained the best collection of law books that had ever
been olfta-ed for sale in this country, was advertised for sale soon after his
death. That his wife Christian, whose maiden name is unknown (although
it may possibly havt* been Phillips), was a widow when 1 homas Newton
married her seems probable from the statement in her will, datrd in Boston
lU Mar. 1727/8 and proved 12 Feb. 17^30/1, that her "daughter Thom|>-
80n " is to have her " estate at IMastow in old Kni^land." The children
of Thomas and Christian Newton were : Ilibbert, the subject of this sketch ;
Elizabeth, who proi)ably died unmarried ; Christian, who was marrirMl, 11
Feb. 172.'i/l, to .lohn \Vainwright of Ipswich; and Hannah, who also may
have died unmarried.
The date of the birth of Ilibbert Newton is unknown. He may have
participated in the siege of Anna{)olis Hoyal, N. S., but there is uo record
of his presence there at that time. In 1711, however, when he was pre-
sumably under twenty-live years of age, he was appointed (through what
direct intiucnce is not revealed) collector of customs at Annapolis Koyal,
then and until 174'J the caj>ital of Nova Scotia, antl he held this position
until his death in 1751. This collectorship was the chief collector^hip of
customs in Nova Scotia, and for a time, at least, the collectorship of Canso
was coupled with that of Annapolis. He was a member of the Military
Council of Nova Scotia, having been aj)pointe<l by Governor Phillips G May
1720, when he formed his first council at Annapolis Royal, but his name
is not found nmoug the members in attendance after .July 1725. (Nova
Scotia Archives, vol. 3.) During his life of over forty years at Annapo-
lis Royal Mr. Newton's intercourse with Hostou was frecpient. He un-
doubtedly spent much time in that town, and in 1738 his sisters Elizabeth
and Christian conveyed to him a house on Marlborough Street of which he
was already in possession. His will, dated 4 May 1750 and proved 5 June
1752, is recorded in Boston.
Ilibbert Newton married, probably at Annapolis Royal, although the date
of the marriage is unknown, Hannah Adams, baptized in Boston 17 Sept.
• Tlie inscription on this tablet is not free from errors, as may be seen by comparing
it witli the Boston Nexcs-Letter for the week from Monday, May 22, to ^londay, May
29, 1721, which contains the followinf; : •' On the Lord's Dav Moining the 28lh Instant,
(being l>orn on the said Day) Died here Thomas Newton, tsq ; .Aged 61 Vears." An
account of llie career of the deceased is then given, \\ hich appears with tundry changes
and additions in the Sexes-Letter for the week from Monday, May 29, to Monday,
June T), 1721, tliis second notice (a part of which is })rinted in .Vnnuls of King's Cliap-
cl, vol. 1, p. 183) rcadin;,' as follows : *' On Thursday last the first Currant, was Honour-
ably Interred here, Thomas Setvton Esq; His >lajesly's Attorney General of this
Province, Coniptroler of His Majesty's Customs, had been Judge of the Admiralty,
Justice of the I'eace, anil I'ov numy Years one of" the Chief Lawyers of this Place : lie
was u tientleman bt^rn in England the loth oi June 10(50, being Whitsunday, and Died
on the Lorils Day the 28th |)ast being also Whitsunday, in the 61 Year of his A^e;
He was Eilucated there, and intircly beloved both there and here by all that knew him,
one who earryed himself very handsonily, just and well in every Station and Post
which he sustained, being AtTable and Courteous, of a Circumspect Walk and Deport-
ment, and inoffensive Conversation, of Strict Devotion towards GOD, exemplarly for
Family Government, as well as Humanity to all his Fellow Creatures, A Lover of all
Good Men, and therefore the more Lamented at his Death. His Funeral was At-
tended by Ilis Excellency the Governour, Gentlemen of His Majesty's Council, with
other principal Gentlcn)en, MerchanUi and others."

Nova Scotia. (KK<iisTKU, vol 32, pp. l.'J2, 13.'i.)
According to Ilibbert Newton's will, he and his wife Ilannali had nine
children: 'I'homas ; Phillips, commissioned a lirst lieutenant of the -lUth
Kegiment 29 .July 1751 and caj)tain-iieutenant of the ISth iitgiment ?5 Apr.

Jonathan HiiMu^y, M.C., who was born at Hull, Mass., 7 Jan. 1724/5 and
was the founder of an imj)ortant family in Halifax, his grandson Hibbert
becoming the fourth Anglican bishop of Nova Scotia; an<l Mary.
Hon. Henry Newton, youngest son of Hon. Hibbert Newton, became
chief collector of customs for Nova Scotia at lialitax on his father's <lcath
in 1751, was admitted to the Council in 17G1, and died in otlice as collector
in 18U2, his fatlier and he having held the olllce smx'essively for over ninety
years. A tablet to his memory in St. Paul's Church, Halifax, bears the
following inscription : *' Sacred to the Memory of tin; Honourable Henry
Newton, the first Collector of His Majesty's Customs in Nova Scotia, at
Halifax, which appointment he held for fifty years with signal honour
to hims«ilf and advantage to the j)ublic. His father, Hibbert Newton, Esq.,
filled the same ollice at Annapolis forty years. He was a member of His
^lajesty's Council for the Province forty-two years, and invested with other
oflices of distinction and trust; greatly beloved and respected for his many
virtues, but chiefly for his exemplary Christian character and conduct, con-
sistently suxtaineil throu'di a louir life in an aire of threat laxity and reli'Mous
iuditference. He dietl universally lamented on the 29'*^ of January, l'SU2,
aged 70 years. This monument is erected by his son, Edward Au;fustus
Newton,* as a memorial of his father's exalted worth, and in fervent grati-
tude for his j)ious teaching and example. ' The righteous shall be had in
everlasting remembrance.' "
Hon. Henry Newton married, in Halifax, Ann Stuart, sister of tlie artist
Gilbert Stuart, who with her parents had removed to Newport, N. S., from
Rhode Island a few years before the Revolution. The year after her hus-
band's death Mrs. Newton came to Massachusetts and opened a scho«jl for
young ladies in Medford ; later she had a similar school in Boston.
In several encyclopa'dias are to be found brief sketches of Gilbert Stuart
Newton, a painter of much note, who is usually but incorrectly called a sou
of Edward Newton of Halifax and his wife Ann Stuart. He was, how-
ever, a son of Hon. Henry and Ann (Stuart) Newton. Like his more dis-
tinguished uncle, Gilbert Stuart, he went early to England, where he be-
came an associate of the Royal Academy and a few years later an Acade-
mician. In 1831-2 he painted in America. He died at Wimbledon. Eng-
land, 5 Aug. 1835. He married in Roston, 22 Aug. 1832, Sally Williams
Sullivan, who was married again in Roston, where she was residing, 25
June 18-10, to William F. Oakey of New York. (King's Chapel registers.)

book was found, contixining a partial list of the descendants of l*eleg Harlow of
Sandwich, Mass., and of Amenia, N. Y. It is not possible now to say |v)>iti\ely
by whom this record was written; but from the paper. penman>liip, and irenoral
appearance, it must have been prepared about .^eventy-tlve years ago, and there
Is some reason for believing that the compiler was one of the clnldren of Tho-
mas Barlow by his second wife, Lucy AUerton. From the fact that in all cases
where it has been compared with other reconls It has been fvjimd to be correct,
it should undoubtedly be accepted as a valuai)le ct>ntribution to the hi.>.tory of
the family.
The parentage of Peleg Barlow lias not been detluitely ascertained. He was,
Ijowever, probably a son of Moses Barlow, of Sandwich and Roche.'^ter, Mass.
Mrs. AUerton, the former pos.sessor of this record, was her>elf a descendant
of l*eleg liarlow, being a daughter of Hebron and Eliza (Barlow) Hurd {vidt

Nathanikl Winslow's Account Book. — An Account Book without the origi-
nal owner's name is now in the possession of Mr. George H. Thomas of Mar.sh-
fleUI, Mass. The entries in the book were made between 1717 and 172s. On
the Ihst page I fountl the births and deaths of the oriirinal owner's family, with
no suriuune. By comparison witli the Marshlleld, Ma.ss., Vital Keeords, pub-
lished in The Mai/jtoicer Descemlmt^ vol. 5, p. 23G, 1 was able to determine that
the original owner was Nathaniel Win.slow, Jr. His tlrst wife, the mother of
his llrst ten children, was I.ydia, daughter of Jt)siah and Kebieca (Barker)
Snow. Her mother's name has been nniny times incorrectly publi-,hed as Baker.
His second wife, the mother of the last three children given below, was Deborah
(Harstow) Bryant, widow of John Hryanl of Seituate. The Winslow Memo-
rial, vol. 1, p. 1)7, published in Ls77, contains an abrid^nient of the family
record, as recorded by Nathaniel Winslow himself. The record in full Is a;j
follows :

Jknkins-Jonf.s. — The following record is preserved on a loose sheet of paper
which was found in an old Bible conconlance now in the possession of a lady
residing in Brattlcboro, Vt. The book was rescued from a rubbish heap, on
which it had been tossed by people who occupied the house in which the family
of its present possessor once lived. The letters M.I*., which appear in large
capitals at the bottom of the sheet, are perhaps the Initials of Miles Phillips,
whose name, with the date 177.^, is written in Ink on the margin at the top of
one of the pages of the concordance. The sheet on which the record Is written

PiiiLLiMOUic's Parish Rkgtstkrs. — Thomas M. Blafrg, Esq., of 124 Chancery
Lane, London, editor of the series of Kniilish I'arish K(^<^istcrs inoji-ctcd by the
late W. r. W. riiillimore, Esti-, and publislutl for many years under his direc-
tion, has sent to the librarian of the New Eni;land Historic Genealogical Society
geveral coi)ies of the new catalo«;ue of the volumes thus far Issued, and lu bis
letter accompanying this trift makes the following? appeal :
*' I would ask that you ^ive some of these [catalo^iues] to people likely to
support the series by becoming subscribers to at least one county series. At
present the support of the series from your side of the Atlantic is almost negli-
gible. Gcnealoj:;ists in America seem content to use the public librarit-s there
and do not realize that, if a few more of them would subscribe to the coun-
ty they are specially interested in, that Increased support would enalile that
county to be printed at double the pace and completed within a few years,
whereas with the almost complete absence of the private subscriber several
counties have for long been entirely at a standstill and is is at times doubtful if
the series as a whole can be continued.
"The same neglect is strangling the good work of the British Record So-
ciety."

WILLIAM THEOPHILUS ROflERS MAUVIN, A.M., L.ILD.
By Mrs. Elizabeth Eliot Makvin Wood of New York City
William TiiEorniLus Rogers Marvin, a resident member of
the New iMighmd Historic (lenealogical Society from ]1K)() and a
member of its Council for the yeans 1902-1904, died at his home at
70 Perry Street, Brookline, Ma.srf., after a lon^ and painful illness,
24 February 1913, at the age of eighty-one years. He was born in
l^oston, Mass., 30 December 1832, the son of Theophilus Rogers and
Julia Ann Coleman (Coggeshall) Marvin.
His paternal line in New England was derived from Reinold
Marvin, one of the early settlers of Connecticut, who was born in
the later years of the sixteenth century at Great Hentley, co. Kss<;x,
England, a son of Edward Marvin of that parish. This Reinold,^
who lived at Hartford, Farmington, Say brook, and b>'me, Conn.,
died at the last-mentioned place in 1()()2. His son, Ueinold,' was of
Lyme, Conn., was lieutenant and repn^sentative, married Sarah,
daughter of George Clark, and died in KwO. Capt. KcinokP of
Lyme, who was born in 1009 and died in 1737, was by his second
wife, Martha, daughter of Thomas Waterman of Norwich, Conn.,
the fath(T of Cai)t. Elisha* of Lyme, who was born 8 March 1717/ 18,
married, 17 May 1739, Catharine Mather, and died 31 DeeembtT
1801. Their son, Gen. Elihu^ of Norwich, who wius bom in Decem-
ber 1752, married, 25 December 1780, Elizabeth, daughter of The-
ophilus Rogers, Jr., and died 13 September 1798. His yoimgest
child and only son was Theoi)hilus Rogers,* who was born at Nor-
wich 23 February 1790, married, 3 April 1832, Julia Ann (^oleman
Coggeshall of New Bedford, Mass., a descendant of President John
Coggeshall of the Colony of Rhode Island, and dieil at Brookline,
Mass., 9 May 1882, his wife, who was born 3 April 1811, dying 30
January 1882, only a little more than three months before her hus-
band. Theophilus Rogers Marvin was the founder, in 1823, of what
is now the oldest printing house in the city of Boston, a public-
spirited man, anil at one time a member of the Massachusetts (Jen-
eral Court. In 1859 Williams College conferred on him the honorary
degree of Master of Arts.
William Theophilus Rogers' Marvin was educated in the public
schools of Boston, his native city, attending the Adams School and

IIG Willimn Thcophilus Rogers Marvin [April
tlio Boston Latin School, whcro he was graduatrd in 1850, winning
tlu.' much prized T'lanklin Medal. Tie was prej)are(l iov Vale Oolle^e;
but a visit to Wiiliamstown at Connnenceinent time' hrou^lit him
under the influence (jf that "granil old man," Mark li(ipkins, and he
decided to (Miter Williams instead. While in college he heerime a
member of the Si^ma i*hi fraternity, which he always loved and of
which he was a devoted son, bein^ ever ready to d<j anything in his
po\\er for any of its members. liy the j'ounj^er men of the frater-
nity he was looked u])()n as an example of what a loyal m«'mber
might be. He was graduated in the (Mass of ISoi, and received
from his ahtia mater the degn-e of Afaster of Arts in ISo?. Seven
years later, in 1801, he obtained a charter for the Williams chapter
of the Phi Beta Kai)pa, being himself one of the charter members.
In li)()9 th(; ('olli>ge conferred on him, for his literary attainments
and "his absolute loyalty to the college," the degree of Doctor of
the Humanities. From 1859 to 1912 he was absent from only two
Connnencc^ncuits, a uni(iue record. In all these j'ears he made a
practice of i)reserving i)rinted matter jxrtaining to the affairs of
the ( 'oll(»ge, and a short time before his death he sent to the College
Library this collection of "Collegeana," in twelve bound volumes.
Innnediately after his graduation at Wilhams he entered the
})rinting oflice of his father, an<l in 1S5(» he was given an interest in
the business, the name of the firm being changed to T. H. Marvin tfc
Son. For fifty-seven years Dr. Mar\ in was a printer, at first with
his father, then alone, and later with Mr. Fnulerick C. Fairbanks
as his partner. He took much pride in the books that he printed,
and endeavored to make each one as nearly perfect as possible.
When other printers were troubled with strikes, he laid the ])oint3
at issue before his men, and averted any complications. The firm
was originall}' established at 32 old Congress Street, but in later
years was moved to 21, then to 42, and in 1870 to 131 Congress
Street, wher(> the business was carried on in a large anil wellnHiuippeJ
ofhce until the ])lant was comi)letely destroycnl in the great Boston
lire of 1872. Then, after occui)ying t(Mni)orary (juarters on Corn-
hill, the firm was rehoused at 49 Fedi'ral Street, and was moved
still later to 73 Federal Street, where it remained until after Dr.
Marvin's death. The motto of the house, Sine Lahore Nihil, has
well expressed its dominant sjiirit.
At one time in his early manhood Dr. Marvin was much interested
in military atTairs, and was a member of the New England (^niards.
Later he was a sergeant in the Ancient and Honorable Artilhry
Comi^any. He joininl also the Massachusetts \'olunt(*er Militia,
and was appointed quartermaster-sergeant on the staff of Col. Bur-
bank, who was then in command of the First Regiment. In later
years he took much pleasure in telling "how we used to do things in
those days."
In 1857 Mr. Marvin became a Mason, joining Cohnnbian Lodge
of Boston. After reaching the grade of blaster Mason he served
his lodge in various offices, and was master in 1871-72. In 1883 he
was elected secretary of Cohnnbian Lodge, and continued to serve
in that capacity until his death. In 1885-80 he was also senior
\
1914] William Theophilus Rogers Marvin 117
grand warden in tlie Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. Uc edited
and pulilishcil various wurks on Masonic history and anlifjuities,
among tlicni a report on "The Arms (jf the i'leemasons," i)uhhshcd
in the Procccdiiujs of the (Irand Lodge of Massacliusetts for 1880,
his thorough knoulfdge of heraUlry making him especially wcll-
qualilied for this task.
Dr. Marvin's intercut in anti(juarian matters was pronounced.
In the New Enghuid Historic (Jenealogical Society, in ad(hti(jn to
his term of three years (lUD'J 1901) as a memher of tlie Council, he
was in 1902 a memlnT of tlie ('ommittee on the Cabinet, in 1903
and 1901 a member of the Conunittee on Epitaphs, in 1901 a member
of the Committee on Coll»'cti»)n (jf Records, and in 190;i, 1901, and
190') a member of the ( •ommittee on Tapers and Kssays. He was
a dircH'tor in the liunker Hill Monument Association, and was a
life member of the Hostonian Society, serving for some time on the
Council of the latter sociity and printing for many years its l^uUi-
aitions. Knowing his keen interest in genealogical research, many
of his friends would smile over his father's statement that he feared
W ilham had no head for gen(>alogy. Ih^ was, in fact, an accurate
genealogist, and a careful, critical i)rinter of many gi'iieah^gical
works. He compiled the Marvin genealogy and pedigrees which
api)eared in Salisbury's ''Family-Histories and (lenealogies," he
wrote "The lOnglish Ancestry of Heinold and Matthew Marvin of
Hartford, (.-t., Ki.W," which was publishetl in 1900, and, in conjunc-
tion witli Mr. (i(>orge Franklin Marvin of New York, wrote the
"Descendants of Heinold and Matthew Marvin," which apjHwred
in 1901. He also edited and })rinted "The (Ireene Family in I-^ng-
land and America with Pedigrees," 1901.
Numismatics claimed a large share; of Dr. Marvin's attention,
and among numismatists he was well-known as the author of "The
Medals of the ]\Iasonic Fraternity," 1880, a subject on which he
contiiuied to colh^ct (lata until his death, and of other pajiers on this
branch of knowletlge. Although ai">iiearing nuTcly as one of the
editors of Hetts's "American Colonial History Illustrated by Con-
tcmi)orary Medals," he was in reality responsible for much of the
information contained in this work. For nearly forty years he
edited ami j)ublished the American Journal of Numismatics. He
was an active member of the Boston Numismatic Society, an honor-
ary mi^mber of the American Numismatic; and Arcluvological Society
of New York and of the American Numismatic Association, a corre-
sponding member of the Numismatic and Anticpiarian Society of
Philad(>lj)hia, and, in recognition of his attainments in this field of
antitjuarian research, he was ma<le a foreign associate of the Royal
Numismatic Society of Belgium.
From 1872 on Dr. Marvin resided in Brookline, and for twenty-
two years (1875-1897) he was a member of the School Committee
of that town, watching closely the development of the curriculum of
the high school and insisting that thoroughness is the foimdation
of knowledge. He was also a member of the Brookline Thursday
Club, being its president for two years.

take up a now line of oriKin.'il rosoarch must mako an oxroption in
iiu' (;asr of Dr. Marvin. i)urin^^ the la.st 3'L'ar.s of lii.s life he bccanH?
much intrrt'strtl in a docurncnt in tlic po.s.sossion of the liostonian
Society, and known in Kn^^li.sh ic^al plirascology as a "fmo." It
was written in the Ic^al Latin of the rci^n of James 11, abounded in
le^al al)l)reviations and other short(Mie<l forms, and had ne'ver been
transhited. He liad seen the document years before, and had puz-
z1(h1 out a few words, but had given tin,' translation up as too great a
task for a bu.sy man. In the last year of his life he attacked the
probl(!m again, and with infinite ])atience constructed an al[)habet
and W()rk(Hl out all but a few words. The translation was publishe(l
in the F^ostonidn Society Publications, vol. 10.
For more than fifty years Dr. Marvin was a member of the Prot-
estant l]j)is(()pal Church. He became closely identified with the
Church of the Messiah in Boston, serving as vestryman and later as
junior warden, and being often chosen as a d(>legate to the diocesan
convention. In the leaflet of that (^hurch for 2 March IDbi, the
rector, Key. John McGaw Foster, wrote:
"The nioniory of Mr. Marvin's life is that of a Christian gentleman of
the old s('1u)(j1. With a iniud reriKuk.ibly keen to keep abreast of th<? t(»pics
which concern modern thou'.'lit, his faith was the .^injj)le faith of his fatliers
— the Faith once for all delivered to the .siints. . . .
"None could know Mr. Marvin well without being iniprcssetl by the
ripeness of his scholarship and the vigorous cultivation of his mental
powers. . . ."
Dr. Marvin married first, 17 A])ril 1801, Anne Maria Howe, who
was l)orn at Milford, N. H., 27 June 18o7, daugliter of Clcorgc and
Juditli Hay (Sawyer) Howe of Boston. She died sudilenly in Boston
9 July 1870, leaving three children: Florence, who now resides at
Cambridge, Mass., the wi<low of Oeorgi^ Hoffman lunbree; Julia
Rogers, who was married to Lieut. Charles Brooks Clark and is nt)w
deceased; and Theophilus Rogers, now deceased. He married sec-
ondly, at Brookline, []0 December 1874, his cousin, Mary Ritchie,
who was born at New Bedford, Mass., 12 June 184,"), daughter of
Edward Samuel and Abby Russell (Pope) Ritchie of Brookline.
By his second wife, who survived him. Dr. Marvin had three chil-
dren: ]''lizabeth Eliot, now the wife of Howland Wood of New York
City; John ReginoUl, who married Grace W. Field and resides at
Evanston, III.; and George Ritchie, who married Florence Huth
Dennis, resides in Boston, and is a member of the printing firm of
which his father was for so many years the head. In his family life
Dr. Marvin was a most loving father, always interested in whatever
concerned his children, especially in their literary work, and ever
ready with advice or friendly criticism.

• The following uotice of Mr. Savage appeared in tho Boston Evening Transcript,
a few days after iiis death.
"The death on Moiuiay of Mr. Samuel H.iy Savage of Beacon Street removed
another of our genuine Boston type from a large family and social circle.
"Mr. Savage was a man of much culture from a large reading of books and inter-
course with men of thought and action. Full of he.irt, life, sympathy, always ready
to speak a kind word and perform a kind act, he will bo tenderly remembered by a
large circle of friends. It was well said of him that he never did a thing that a true
gentleman shouKl not do. He was u Unitarian in his faith, and believed that the love
of God would prepare for him and for all who tried to do their duly a home of pcaca
and happiness beyond.
" Born in Barn.-^tahle, Mr. Savage delighted to return to the scenes of his childhood,
and he hail but just purchased a summer home there, and was engaged in prcp:iring it
for occupation another year, when death so suddenly but peacefully called his spirit
from earth to the Father's house of many mansions.".

To day there has been a very lieavy wind from the north-west.
The sea 1ms been all day. Sc is now, very turbulent it rough. In our
harbor three schooners belonging to Mr Johnson, of Portsmouth, the
Crown, the Spray, and the Mary K. Caswell, — were blown from
their moorings, <fe were stranded upon the rocks at Smutty nose &
Hog Island. The Crown sunk with several barrels of oil, the most
hiMug afterward saved. The Spray was ]\\(\cn with barrels of Her-
ring & is unrepairable, having her side stoye in. The Mary E. was
not injured so much but that she can be repaired. The Crown went
to pieces.
But a terrible sorrow was visited upon Mrs. James R Randall t
Her husband in the employ of the Messrs Laightons, at Appledore,

the waves filled his boat, & they sought to save themselves. His
companion, by his advice, jumped upon the rocks & succeeded in
savin^^ himself from drowning. Mr. Handall followed him; but
from the appearance of a very severe blow ui)on the left temple &
eye, it is pro))al)le that as he struck the water in his jump, the surge
threw him violently against the ledge, & the bhjw stunn»'d him,
dej)riving him both of mental iSc physical pow<'r, Sc the under current

•Ho was a member of an interesting family of Norwegians, that came to the
Shoals aftor ISOO. Thoy lived in various pluros. A largo part of the time they were
in the littlo cottage on the south side of Api)ledore long known aa th«* "Norwegian
cottage." The rest of the family moved away in the spring of IS-S/i and took up
farming in North l);iki)ta. The name, the correct spelling of which is Ingcbrctsen, is
variously reproduced as Ingebertsen and Ingebritrsen. In any form it was loo much
for the Shoalers for ilaily use. They are said to have compromised on '■Carpenter"
as a manageable name for the family.
The Shoalers were much given to nicknames, not always vcrj- flattering, and the
use of abbreviated names was very common on account of the few family names on
the islands. Thus John Handy Robinson was commonly ealleii Julm Handy; John
Cook Uaiulall was John Cook, but sometimes Cook Ilandall; John liragg Downs was
almost always John Bragg. Even now "John liragg's house" on Star Ibloud is a
mark for lishermiMi in gi'tting the l)earings of various tishiug grounds near the Shoals.

[On those pages is recorded a series of petitions and notices con-
cerning a town-meeting to be held in the scfioolhouse on 1 1 .\ug. 1SG3
at 10 A.M., because "the annual meeting of the inhabitants of said
town, required by law to be lu>ld in March anually has not been held
according to law and ... it is necessary that such meeting should
be held and town officers duly chosen and that other business of said
town should be transactctl by saitl town legally." This probably
means that a meeting had been held in March, but untler conditions
which cast a doubt on its legality. However that may be, certain
legal voters of Oosport, namely, Nathaniel F. Berry, William H.
Caswell, Elvin Newton, S. H. Robinson, Josiah Randall, Daniel Clark,
Asa Caswell, Jose])h Randall, John Caswell, O. S. Caswell, Harrison
Berry, Alfred P. Caswell, and John O. Dowiis, jietition the selectmen
to call such a meeting. Origen S. Caswell, Town Clerk, records the
petition, without date, and also a similar petition to Nathaniel F.
Berry, Esq., Justice of the Peace. This second petition is signed by
the same persons who signed the first petition, except that Berry's
name is omitted and that the name of William Robinson is added.
On 24 July 18G3 Elvin Newton, Ephraim II. Dowiis, and William
Robinson, Selectmen of Oosport, issue a warrant for the meeting on
11 Aug., and also certify, 11 Aug. 1803, that they have given notice

loHki ininistry on tiu- Shoals. One of the (irst .acts of the \hv. .J.Mh-diah Morse, during
his visit in Aug. ISOO, was to condone her irregular relations to Richard Randall by a
marriage ceremony as set forth on p. 80 of the original reconls. A coui)le of years later
»ho became a widow, and then married Benjamin Downs. The descendants of these
two marriages wore numerous and took an active part in the lifi- of the Shoals. She
and her second husliand are the ".Nabl)aye" and "Bennaye" of Celia Thaxtera
skoiohes, in which she is praised as an industrious woman and a good housekeeper
when well along in years and lacking in physical attractions. Mrs. Thaxter was mis-
taken, however, in saying that she also cared for "Old Puler," another ancient Shoaler
whoso ago was mvich extended by local tradition. It is established on good a\ithority
and confirmed by several witnisscs that during his last years Peter Robinson lived
with .Vsa Caswi>ll, or in an ell of (^:isweirs house.
tThis probably means land near the meetmg-house.

of land on the (^uincl)aug Hiver, and was one of the first
settlers and a ])r()niinent man. He was town cltTk, and town
meetings and religious services were held at his house. For
ui)wards of forty years there seems to have l)een scarcely any

probate for Hancock (later Waldo) County, and during that
time no aj)peal was ever taken from any of his decisions. He
served as captain during the War of 1812, and for several years
as judge advocate in tlie militia. In 1810 he was elected
representative jto the General Court of Massachusetts. In
the same year he was a member of the convention which
fornunl the constitution of the State of Maine, and was im-
mediately chosen a representative to the Legislature of the

he was one of the trustees of Bowdoin College, having been
elected to this position to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of his father. Judge Williamson, in his History of Belfast,
vol. 1, says: "As a lawyer and as a literary man, the oi)inion of
Judge Johnson was often sought, and as often cited for its
weight and authority; but in matters of business, or on
questions of expediency, it was proved to be no less valuable."

14G The Kmjliah Shermans [Aj)iil
MORE FACTS ABOUT THE ENGLISH SHERMANS*
By Thomas Townsknu Siikhman, A.B., LL. U., of Uye, N.Y.
An examination made for the writer })y Messrs. J. Henry Lea and
J. R. Hutchinson of many wills, jjroved in the Rnro^ativc Court of
Canterbury, of residents of Yaxley, co. SulToik, and its vicinity, has
revealed the record of the will of Jane (Waller) (Sherman) (Jardim-r,
dated 10 Jan., 15 Klizal)(>th (L572/3), and proved 11 Mar. 15723.
Her first husband was Thomas Sherman of Yaxley, whose will is
dated 20 Jan. 1550/1 (Rkcjistku, vol. 54, p. 153). Her second
Inisb.'ind, whose Christian name has not yet been di.fmitely ascer-
taiiKvl, may have becni W illiam (jardiner, who in 1508 was li\ing
and owned land in Stoke Ash in Hertesmere Ihnulred, near Yaxley,
for he appears in the return of the lay su}>sidy of 1508 as taxed in
Stoke Ash on £G in lands. Jane (lardiner i^ives to the poor of Stoke
Ash 5s., although none of the Shernums livetl there. Her will, made
twenty-two years after Thomas Sherman's death, is interesting and
instructive, as it shows that she was his only wife and the mother of
his sons, of whom she mentit)ns all but one, \\ illiam, the grocer,
who was rich, lived in London, and was buried in li)swich in 15S3,
liis will being dated 28 May 1583 (RKiiibTEU, vol. 54, p. 158).
She also mentions the wives of all of these sons except Henry,
A\'illiam, and Richard, and some of her grandchildren. The follow-
ing is a copy of her will:

Elizabeth, who is iiifiitioiu^d in this will, wife of Thomas Shennan,
was his lirst wife, and daughter of Anthony Yaxley of Melles, co.
Sulfolk. J lis second wife was J^arhara \\ heateroft, daughter of
William and Alice of li)swich. l^arbara (W'heatcroft) Sherman
died 18 Jan. 1G21/2 and is buried in Yaxley church. Syhil, wife of
Francis Sherman, was Syl>il Cirey, daughter of Thomas and Anne
(Plumsted) of (Joswold Hall, Thrandeston, co. SulTolk. Mary, wife
of Anthony Sluu-man, was daughter of Sir Anthony (luy(h\t. Knight.
After Anthony Slierman's death, which occurred in 1582, she married
Robert Hall, in 1587. Elizabeth, wife of John Sherman, was his
lirst wife and the mother of his children, lie marriiMi secondly
Marian, widow of Thomas Whiting of Ipswich; and thirdly Mar-
garet , who ^^as his wife in ir)8G.
The l)e Banco Society of London is examining and reporting on
the De Banco plea rolls, which are the clerk's minutes of the daily
proceedings of the courts of Common Pleas and King's Bench, and
also on certain early Chancery proceedings, these rolls and pro-
ceedings not being indexed. LVom such reports many interesting
and im])ortant facts with regard to the Yaxley Shermans are learned.
In Nov. 1528 (Michaelmas term, 20 Henry VI II) Thomas Sherman
of Yaxley, in his own proper person, brings suit to recover from
Isabcll Dedham, widow, the third part of certain lands in Burgate,
CO. SulTolk, as his right and heritage, into which the said Isabell has
not ingress unless after tiie demise which Robert Hendry, former
husband of Agn(^s, mother of the aforesaid Thomas, whose heir he
is, nnule unto the aforesaid Isabell (De Banco Roll 105U, meml^rane
410). It tinis api)ears that Agnes FuUen, the wife of John Sherman
of Yaxley who died in 1501 (will, dated 10 Aug. 1501, in 1^E(1Istkk,
vol. 54, p. 152), had married also Robert Hendry. In l)e Banco
Plea Roll 797, meml)rane 225, 38 Henry VI (Apr.-May 1400), is a
minute of an action by John Kew of Diss, co. Norfolk, and John
Payn of Royilon, co. Norfolk, against John Sherman of Yaxley,
yeoman, and Robert Sherman of Yaxley, yeoman, to recover a debt
of ten marks. These two Shermans are probably John of Yaxley,
an abstract of whose will, dated 20 Aug. 1405, api)ears in Register,
vol. 00, p. 322, and his son Rol)ert, who is mentioned in the will.
In Star C'hand)er Proceeilings is a bill of complaint of Sir John
Wiseman, Knight, against Thomas Shennan of Yaxley, stating that
on 22 Apr., 22 Henry- \T11 (1530), com])lainant sent two of his
servants to distrain for unpaid rent of an acre of land in Gors Close,
CO. SulTolk, ])art of the manor of Swattyshall owned by comj^lainant,
which rent SluTman had refused to ])ay for three years; that said
servants seized by way of distress a plow with four horses; and that,
V
1914] The English Shermans M9
as they woro driving in the Kind's highway, Johanne Shrniian and
Mar^JTy H('K<', with staves in tlicir hands, and certain othiT riotoiw
persons "made a sawtc tt fray upon the said ij servants & put theni
in dannj^er of their lyvis Si j^revonsly (lid l)et(^ William I^rysshe &
take away the said dystress from tlu^m." Aftervsards, on 24 Apr.,
2'.\ Henry VIII (15^51), complainant's servants a^^ain (hstrained Uie
plow and horses; "but as they came tlietherward, mettc with them
i)y th(* way, Johanne SluTinan, the \syfi" of Thomas SluTman, Thonuw
l)ykon and Margery Hedge? with Stavys it stonys in their iappys,
as well as other servants of the said Tiiomas Sherman, wlio with
force & armis did fyghyt with them & them did bett, wond & yll
intret."
Thomas Sherman was an attorney at law with a large practice in
the Court of Common Pleas, and ho was also a great litigant himself,
as the court records show. His wife Juno seems to have been able
to do her share of the fighting, when occasion oiTered.
The return of the lay subsidy of 1327 for Yaxley (Jakeslee) in the
hundred of Ifertesmere, co. Suffolk, shows that John Shennan wjvs
taxed there xii''. In the return of the lay subsidy of 1524 Thomas
Sherman of Yaxley was taxed there 7s. 6d. on £5 of goods. In the
return of the lay subsidy of 1508 for Yaxley Thomas Sherman,
gentleman, appears as taxed £1. fis. 8(1. on £12 in lands, and Francis
Sherman, his brother, was taxed 2s. 6d. on £3 in goods.
It has been said that the maiden name of Agnt^s, the first wife of
Henry Sherman of Colchester and Dedliam, whose will is dated
20 Jan. 1589/90 (Uegistku, vol. 50, p. 281), was Butler. The will
of Thomas Butter of Dedhnm, co. Essex, clothier, dated 20 Aug,
1555 and proved 7 May 1550 (P.C.C., Ketchyn, 5), mentions Win
daughter Agnes Rolffe, makes a bequest of a silver pot to Harry
Shennan's wife, and appoints Henry Shennan an executor. Pos.sil)ly
Agnes, the wife of Henry Sherman, was Agnes Butter, a sister or
niece of the testator.
The abstract of the will of Henry Sherman of Dedham, dated
21 Aug. 1010, in Recisteu, vol. 50, p. 285, doe.s not mention the
testator's son Siunuel. The will, however, contains the following
clause:
Item — my will and meaning is that my two sons Henry and Samuel
Sherman sliall sell my 8 acres of land in the Hallfeild to the best advantage
of my children's children :is afore heiiueathed within two years after my
demuse, and my meaning is that the mayiio profit which shall arise of the
said hmd during the said two yetu-s shall be paid by them to my said son
Daniel and his lieirs.
The will of John Herberd of Yaxley, dated 23 Jan. 1458/9 (P.C.C,
Stockton, 17), devises "all my lands late bought of Margaret Sher-
man it Thomas Porter, chaplain, lying iu Yaxle in a field called
Netherfeld."

AT VASSALBOROUCII, .ME.
Communicatod by lion. Hkn'ry Sew.vll Wkb3Ter, A.M., of Gardiner. Me.
A Society of Frionds, wliich still exists, was organized in Vassal-
borough, Ale., in 17S(). The History of Kennebec Count}', chapter
xii, contains man}' interesting (h.-tails of its early history. A house of
worship was built in 178o-80, and the records of marriages com-
mence soon after. As was customary, each certificate was recordcMJ
in full. The first certificate is here given at length in order to show
the usual form; but of the later ones abstracts only are given, and
the names of the witnesses have been omitted. Certificates were
recorded, not as the}' were issued, but as tliey were presented to the
clerk for tliat i)urpose; hence, as will be observed, they do not always
appear in the order of their dates.

field Hill Church was organized 18 May 172G, whon the first minis-
ter, Kev. .John CJoodsell, was ordained. The name Northwest Society
was changed to Oreenlield in Oct. 1727, and the word Hill seems to
have been added to the name by usage merely. Uev. John Goodsell
was graduated at Yale College in 1724. One of his successors in the
ministry at CJreenfield Hill was Rev. Timothy Dwight, D. I)., after-
wards president of Yale College, who lived at Greenfield from 1783
to 1795 and while there wrote a poem, entitled *' Greenfield Hill," in
which he praised the beauty of the surrounding country.

2. TiiOMAS Crocheman, executor of his brother John's \v'ill, which he
proved 10 May 1524, was probably father or grandfather of
3. Thomas Couchman of Rolvenden, husbandman, the testator of 1585/G,
who was born about 1538 and was buried at Rolvenden 14 Feb.
1585/6. He married there, 18 July 15G8, Elinor Hubbard, whose
ancestry has not been found. She married secondly, 17 Oct. 1587,
Kmanucll ICvernden of Rolvenden, the testator of 1589, who was
buri(;d at Rolvenden 3 Dec. 1589; and thirdly, 13 Nov. 1593, liS his
second wife, Thomas Tilden of Teiiterden, ye(#man.* the licence
being dated 6 Nov. 1593. By his Grst wife Thomas Tildeu was the
father of Nathaniel Tilden of Tenterden and of Scituate, Mass.f
If Thomas Tilden's son Freegift was his son by his third wife, Alice
^ , then his second wife must have died before 1004, but the
record of lier burial has not been found, nor is any will or administra-
tion on her estate known to exist. Thomas Couchman deposed in
1578 that he had lived at Rolvenden for twelve years and before that
at Hawkhurst; but no Cushmans are found in the early Hawkhurst
registers or in the lists of Hawklmrst testators.
Children, baptized at Rolvenden:

4. Robert Cutchmaj^ or Cush.man, baptized at Rolvenden, co. Kent,
9 Feb. 1577/8, was, in all probability, identical with Robert Cush-
nian, the agent of the I..eyden Pilgrims in England. In 1003 we find
him in Canterbury, co. Kent, as servant to George Masters. He
was presented, 14 Nov. 1603, by the churchwardens of St. .Andrew's
Parish, "for that he doth say he will not come to his parish church,
because he cannot be edified and saith he can and will defend it by
the word of God." Not doing the {)enance iinix)sed on him by the
ecclesiastical court, he was excommunicated 12 Nov. 1604, but on
28 June 1605 he api>eared before the court and asked for absolution,
which was granted to him on 7 July 1605, when he wiis received again
into the Church.- In the same year, 1005, he became a freeman of

Cushnian family, after the baptism of the aon Thoma.s, id found at
(Canterbury. Probably soon after the date of baptiam Hul^ert
Cushman with hia family joined Kov. John Kobinsfjii's colony in
Holland. When hid wife Sarah died is unknown, but he married
secondly, at Leyden, 5 June 1()17, Mauy (Ci^RKt) Shingklton,
widow of Thomaa of Sandwich, co. Kent, ahoemaker, the licence for
her marriaRC to her first husband, which wim to be celebrated at
St. Mary Hredman's, Canterbury, being dated 2S Jan. 10 10/ 11.
Although Robert ('ushman appears as a grocer at Canterbury, he is
called a woolcombcr in the record of his second marriage at Leyden;
but this change of occupation is perhaps ex[)lainod by the following
passage in Bradford's History: "They [the i*ilgrims) removed (from
Amsterdam] to Leyden, a fair & bcwtifull citie, and of a sweete
situation, but made more famous by y*' universitie wherwith it is
adorned, in which of late had been so many le;irned men. But
wanting that trallike by sea which Amsterdam injoyes, it was not so
bcneliciall for their outward means of living & cstats. But being now
hear pitchet they fell to such trads & imployrnenta as they best could;
valewing peace & their spirituall comforte above any other riches
whatsoever. And at lenght they came to rai.se a con)petente A
comfort(!able living, but with hard and conlinuall labor." t Under
these circumstances what was more natural than that Robert Cu?b-
man should turn to a branch of the dothmaking trade, the principal
business of the Weald of Kent, where he was born and where he spent
his early years? In the autumn of 1017, soon after his second mar-
riage, he and John Carver were chosen bv their companions to go to
England and negotiate with the Council for Virginia about u patent
within the grant of the Virginia Company. His connection with
the transfer of a part of the Leyden congregation to Plymouth in New
England is known from the writings of I Bradford, and the story need
not be repeated here. He and his son Thomas arrived at Plymouth
in the Fortune in Nov. 1021; but he sailed for England in the same
ship about a month later, on business for the ( 'olony, leaving the boy
Thonuis in the care of Governor Bradford. Apparently his wife
never came to New England. Probably she was dead when her
husband and son embarked on the Fortune for their westward voyage.
Robert Cushman himself was busily engaged in Englan<l in the afTairs
of the Colony down to his death, which took place probably in the
Bunmier of 1025. Bradford's History contains many letters frono
him, and a sermon preached by him at Plymouth on the day before
he sailed for England, on "The Siu and Danger of Self- Love," waa
printed in Lonilon in 1022.

[A fruitless search has been made among the Soole, Soule, and Sole wills
and administrations of Kent for positive proof of the parentage of Thomas
Soofc, the father of Sarah (Soole) Hinckley. He was probably the son of
the John Soole \\\\o marriexi Marie Whittield at Hawkhurst 21 Jan. 1565/G;
but he was not baptized at Hawkhurst, unless the register, which up to 1598
is a copy of an earlier register made in that year, is defective. Perhaps the
family lived in one of the neighboring Sussex parishes, or they may be de-
scended from John Sole of Cranbrook, co. Kent, the testator of 1508/9. lu
Register, vol. 67, pp. 37 tl., records pertaining to the Edendens or Iddendena
of CO. Kent were printed, and on pp. 43-44 of that volume an account was
given of John Iddeuden of Cranbrook, tailor, and his wife and children. It
was there stated that this John Iddendcn married Christian Glover, because
both he and his wife in their wills called Richard Glover "brother." From
the records given above it appears that the maiden name of John Iddenden's
wife was Mercer, not (ilover, and Richard Glover was probably the husband
of her sister or of John Iddeuden'a sister. Timotliy Mercer, who was ovcr-

Bcer of her will, was of Ilawkhiirst, and was probably her brother. She was
married to Jolin IddcMulcu at llawkhiirst, 26 S<*pt. 1509. In addition to the
Btatcuneiits about tlicir children, prinlcd in I{K(iisiKH, vol. 07, p. 41, the
reeords ^iven above show that their daughter Mary wa:i married nt Hawk-
hurst, 10 Oct. 1598, to Thomas Soolc of llawkhiirst, and that Thoma.s and
Mary (Iddenden) Soole had Sarah, who was baptized at Hawkhurst 8 June
1()0() and Wii.s married there, 7 May 1017, to Samuel Hinckley; Mary, bap-
tized 29 Jan. 1003/-1; Thomas (probably), bapt. 12 May 1005; Anne, baptized
30 Apr. 1015; and pos.sibly others, ainee there is a gap of almost ten yeard
between the baptisms of the two hist-mentioned children. No will of Thomas
or of Mary (Iddenden) Soole luis been found. Katherine, another daughter
of John and Christian (Mercer) Iddenden, baptized at Cranbrook 23 Feb.
1577/8, is proved by the records given above to have been married at Hawk-
hurst, 13 July 1000, to Stephen Hosmer; and among their children was
James Hosmer, who was baptized at Hawkhurst 8 Dec. 1005 and emigrated
to New England in 1035. — E. F.)

[From the records given above and from other records preserved
'in New England the following genealogy has been pr('i)ared:
1. Beltoft.
Children:
i. JoBN, of Sawbridf^oworth, co. Ilerta, d. abt. 1546, evidently ».p.
Iq 20 Henry VI 11 (l.'j.'M-5) he wiws sei.scd of a house with a garden
and two acres of arable Uujd callrd " Currants" in Sawbridgeworth.
He m. not later than 20 Henry VIII (loiM-o) Makuauet ,
whose maiden name wjts perliaj)s I'ayne or Mathewe. She sur-
vived her husband and m. (2) abt. 1517 Thomxs \Ve«twood, who
. in 1550 was of " Maudlyn " (probably Magdalen Laver), co. Essex.
She was ilead in 15 19/5ij, Thomius \\ estwood, her son by her second
husbaml, being then abt. three years of age.
ii. Edmoni), living abt. 1540.
2. iii. Henuy (perhaps son of 1 and brother of the two preceding).
2. Henry Beltoft (perhaps son of 1 and brother of the John and
Edniond mentioned above), of Sawbridgeworth, co. Herts
(see Foet of Fines, Hilary term, 3 Kli/ahetli, 1560/1), was
buried at Saw])ridgoworth 5 July 1501. Elizabeth J^eltoft,
who was buried at Sawbridgeworth 14 Jan. 15G0/1, may have
been his wife.
The following were probably his children:
3. i. RlCDARD.
ii. Alice ( Beltoft a/ra5 Belknap), perhaps m. (1) at Sawbridgeworth,
14 Apr. 1502, William Stubbs; m. (perhaps 2) Sttto.n.
Children (surname *Su/<on): 1. ClcmeiU. 2. William. 3. lixchard.
To each of these three sons the sum of 38. 4d. was left by the will
of their uncle, Richard Beltoft, in 1594 {vide supra, p. 'Jl).
3. Richard Beltoft alias Belknap (probably son of Ilcnry), of
Sawbridgeworth, co. Herts, husbandman, was buried at
Sawbridgeworth 2 Dec. 1599. His will, dated 20 Aug. 1594,
seems to show that he held his land as a copyholder of the

baptized at Sawl>ridgeworth, co. Herts, 10 Mar. 1589/90,
died at Lynn, Mass., early in Sept. 1043. The nami^ of
his parents are not giv(^n in the baptis^inal record; but his
grandfather, Richard Beltoft, in his will of 20 Aug. 1504
(vide supra, pp. 90-91), bequeaths 10s. to "Abraham Beltofte
Sonne to Bennett Beltoft my Godchilde," and he is also
mentioned in his father's will of 14 Apr. 1023 (vide supra,
p. 92). He married, about 1020 or earlier, Mary ,
* who survived him and presented the inventory of his estate,
which was taken 10 Feb. 10-13/4. The record of this mar-
riage has not been found, and the surname of his wife is un-
kno\\'n. His residence in England is also unkno\\'n, the only
indication of it being the record, in the parish registers of
Netteswcll, co. Essex, of the burial, 6 Dec. 1020, of "Abra
Bel. . . . f s. Abra et Mara," which seems to refer to an
infant son of Abraham and Mary.
With his wife Mary and his children, Abraham Belknap
emigrated to New England (in what ship is unknown),
probably about 1035. In 1638 he received a grant of 40
acres of land at Lynn, Mass., his name appearing in the

the Hopewell, 1 Apr. HVM), and Francis Ingalls, whose daugh-
ter married Joseph Helknaj), A))raham's son. The following

The will of Abraham Belknap, which was sworn to 20

his estate, beginning "The inventorie of Abraham Hellnai)'s
estate have deseisted the beginge of the 7th. mo. 1043 and

been printed in Records and Files of the Quarterly Courts
of F^ssex County, vol. 1, p. 60, note. His estate consisted
of a house and 5 acres of land, 2 acres of planting land, 2
acres of salt marsh, 6 acres of salt marsh at Fox Hill, and 30
acres "at the village." He also had a number of "shepe,"
"cowes," "gotes," and "piges," and the usual amount of
household implements and furniture. There is a list of
debts amounting to £5. 13s. 3d., the creditors being Joseph
Armitage, Francis Ingalls, goodman Philips, Richard Ronton,
Thomas Laughton, Ed. Farington, Gerard Spencer, Mr.
Hinge, and John Person. The net amount of the inventory
was £47. 17s., and the mark of Mary his wife ai)pears on the
document. The Essex Afitiijuarian, vol. 2, p. 183, states that
this inventory contains the first mention in Essex County
of pot-hooks and hangers, brass pot and frying pans, spit and
dripi)ing pans.

NOTES
It having come to the attention of this Society that certain
genealogists and publishers have used the name of the Society
m connection with their own enterprises, the Society again de-
sires to state that it has NO genealoj?ical representatives in this
country or in England, nor is it in any way connected with any
publiciitions other than those that it issues over its own name
at 9 Ashburton Place. Boston.
The Committee on English Research desires to state, however,
that although the Society has no othcial representative in Eng-
land the Committee is employing Miss French for a part of her
time as a searcher of records there along special lines for the
benefit of the Register.
RonEiiT Cross, Sr., of Ipswich, Mass. — In the office of the clerk of the
Supreme Judicial C<.)urt in Boston, in a volume of Birth-s, Marriage's, aiiil Deaths,
fo. 85, is preserved the original manuscript of a deposition by Robert Cross, Sr..
of Ipswich, M:ls3., made 5 Dec. 1G'J3, winch was probably at one time inclu led
among the papers in the suit of Robert Cross, Sr., v. John Bumham, Jr., for the
recovery of 30 acres of laud in Ipsuich. This c:ise w;is tried in the Inferior
Court at Ipswich in June 113'J3 an<i in May 1094, and the jury return(^i a veniict
for the plaintiff. The ili'fendant appealed to the higher court at Boston, and
in Apr. UiDo the verdict in the lower court in favor of the plaintiff \v;w upheld.
Of the main question involve I in the c;kse, which i.s numbered oliJS, nothing need
be said; but in the forty ovld folios of manuscript several items of interest may
be found which add to our information about the pioneers of Ipswich and the
metes and bounds of town t!;rants on the e;ist and south side of the Chebacco
River, within the limits of the present to\.n of Essex.
The statement of Robert Cross, Sr., is as follows:

of his ChiKlren to which he gave oth, that it w:is Entere<.l m yc D.ays of ye birth

Paukeu-M.werick. — Rev. James Parker was of Dorchester, Mass., jx?rhap<
as early as 1030. He was freeman in 1034, removed to Weymouth, .M:i.ss., and
from there was a de|)uty to the General Court, 10.39 -Iti 12. Winthrop says
"Those of the lower pari of the river Piscatacjuack invited one Mr. James Parker
of Weymouth, a godly man and a scholar, one who had been many years a deputy
for the public court, to be their minister." (Winthrop's New Kngland. vol. 2,
p. 93.) In a list headed "Ciifts bestowed on the Colony since lOlU," Winthrop
names "Mr. Parker, of Weymouth, his brother, £300, £50 to Mr. Parker and
Mr. Stone their disposing." (//)., vol. 2, p. 342.)
From Portsmouth James Parker removed to Barbados, whence he \\T0te a
letter to Clov. Winthrop un«ler date of 24 4th lOKi: 'We got well to this island
of Barbados through grace. . . 1 am here engaged to preach only for the preecnt.
... I have yet sent for my wife to me, in the midst of these great di.strac-
tions. . . . Whether I shall return for New Kngland I know not. Only this,
I thinke I shall." (llulchinst)ii Paix^rs, vol. 1, p. 175.) .\ letter from Richard
Vines, dated Barbado.s, 10 July 1047, reads: " Mr. Parker with his wife and
family are well seateil in a good plantation of 20 acres, besides a good stip«Mid and
many good guilts, well approved of in his function, opposed by none, unless by
antinomians ami such like." (fb.. vol. 1. p. 222.)
Savage states that Janies Parker died in lOOG, while on a visit to Boston.
This is an error. He died at Barbados in 1652. and his will wjvs proved by his
widow Mary, who was a daughter of Rev. John Maverick of Dorchester. An
abstract of this will follows:
The Will of J.\mks P.vrker. Clarke, 21 August 164S. To my son John Parker
£5, and after my debts are paid the remainder of my estate is to be divided into
three equal shares, one third to my wife Mary Parker, the other two thirds to
my children .Azricam, James, Thoinas. Fearnot, and Mary Parker. My wife is
to sell all my property, and she and mv children arc to go to .\ew England and
there to fulfil my will as abovesaid. My wife Mary Parker, sole executor. Mr.
Richanl Gregory and Mr. Richard Vines, executors in Barbados, and my Bros.

Ailministration on his estate was granted 13 Dec. 1066 to .Mr. Moses Maverick,

Historical Intelligence
Recouds of Woodstock, Conn. — Wade Keyes, Esq., of Boston, \sTites to
the editor that in the olHce of the town clerk of Chester, Vt., there is preserved
what appears to be an original [)roprietors' record of the town of New Roxbury
(now Woo(l.stock), Conn. This record now serves as a binder for the original
proprietors' record of Chester, an«l con.si.sts of a llcxible front cover followed by
seven leaves of records and a flexible back cover preceilcd by six leaves of records.
Lots numbered from 1 to 49, inclu.sive, were a.ssigne<l on 28 Aug. 16S6 to persons
whose names are given. There were Chamllcrs among the early proprietors of
Woodstock, and there were Chandlers among the early proprietors of Chester,
ami these facts may i)erhaps account for the apivaranee of the Connecticut
record in Vermont. Chester was formerly called New Flamstead, and the
earliest meetings of its proprietors were held at Worce.ster, Mass., in 1762.
Early Bohemian Settlers in America. — Thomas Capek, Rsq., of First
Avenue and 74th Street, New York City, is preparing a history of the early
Bohemian immigration to America, and will be ghni to hear from those who have
information to impart on that subject.
Genealogies in Pheparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to
furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own families
and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that
all facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated,

DON GLEASON HILL, M.A., IX.H.
By Julius Uerdkut Tuttle, Esq., of Dcdhain, Miiss.
4
Don Glkason Hill, tho soccmd son of George and Sylvia (Grout)
Hill, was born at West IMcdway, Mass., 12 July 1847, and ilicd at
Dcdhani, Mass., 20 February 1914. He traced his ancestry to
Sanuiel Hill of colonial times; to Matthew Gu.'^hin^; of Ilin^hanr,
1()3S; to Thonuis AngcU, one of the earliest settliTs of Pruvidcnce,
with Koj^er Williams; to I'homas Olney of Salem, Ui-Sf), who also
joined \\ illiams in the purchase of lands at Providence and in founding
there a Baptist churcli; to John Grout, "chirur^ion," of Water-
town, 1041; to Edward Dix of Watertown, 10150, and to Jolm Bar-
nard of the same })lantation; to John Boyiiton of Rowley; to Richard
Swan, who joined the Boston church in liVM); to Joseph Jewett of
Dorchester, 1039; to John Putnam of Salem, 1040; to Edward
Elmer of Cambridge, 10o2; to Hugh Caulkins of (Jloucester, 1040;
and to James Hamblen of Barnstable.
Mr. Hill's early education was obtained in the common schools
of his native town, Medway. His strong de.sire to make the most of
his future opportunities came while he was a faithful assistant to his
father in the carj^enter's traile; and by dint of hard work he earned
enough to continue his education in higher institutions. His early
training was in a liome whose religious atmosphere helped to shape
his career. He fitted for college at Wesleyan Academy, Wilbraham,
Mass., and in 1805 entered Amlierst College, in the class which
numbers among its distinguished men Hon. Charles Herbert Allen,
member of C^ongress from his district in the Forty-Ninth and Fiftieth
Congresses, the late Rev. Dr. Elijah Winchester Donald, Rector of
Trinity Church, Boston; Rev. Joseph Bartlctt Seabury, late his
minister, of Deilham, and Rev. Dr. Henry Preserved Smith, Biblical
scholar. At the entl of his second year in college he secured a school
at Barre, Vt., where lie taught for a year. He then entered the Law
School of the University of Albany, N. Y., where he was graduated
in May 1870 with the degree of Bachelor of Laws. In 1894 Amherst
College conferred on him the honorary degree of Master of Arts.
Soon after his admission to the bar of the State of New York in
1870, he returned to Medway and became a student in the oihce of
Charles H. Deans. Following Mr. Deans's advice, he came to Ded-
voL. Lxvni. 14
212 Don Gleason Hill [July
ham, and in June 1871 entered as a student the ofTice of Waldo
Colbura. On 25 September 1S71 he was a<hiiitte(l to the l)ar of
Norfolk County. Wlien Mr. ('olburri was appc/mted a justice of
th(? Superior (\nirt in June 1875, Mr. Hill t<jok u]) a lar(;e j)art of hi.s
praetiee. He early ^!;ave special attention to pr(>l)ate law and c(jn-
veyancin^, and found in these branches of the law liis life work,
becoming a leading autli(»iity in such niatt(Ts. W ilh the excejjtion
of a f(!W years foljowing OctoluT 1875, when another student of Jud^e
Colburn's, Air. (Miarles A. Mackintosh, became his partner, Mr. Hill
practised his profession alone.
While his vocation was his absorbing interest, he found time for
other efforts in the service, directly or indirectly, of the to\vn of
l)(Hlham. He was town cK^rk, with the excejition of a few week.s,
from March 1880 to March 1912, when he retired on account of ill
health. In this position he lield durin<^ the whole term the contidence
and esteem of his townspeople; and his interest in the details of
the work was great. He urged extreme care in the recording of
names and dates in the vital records, and called on local registrars to
coiiperate with the secretary of state in this important matter. Ho
was on(; of the pioneers in the printing of the town records; and in
his r(^i)ort issued in February 1885 he urged the town of Dedham to
})rint, because its records "contain so much that is of priceless value,
only one copy exists, and once lost can never be restored." The
town carried out his recommendation each year until the work which
he had planned was accomi)lished. Eight volumes were published
in this way, five of vital records, from 1G35 to 1890, and three of
town records, from 1030 to 1700.
Mr. Hill was a selectman from 1882 to 1880, and from 1888 to 1891.
In 1884, under a new law passed that year, the town clerk became
ex officio a member of the Board of Registrars of Voters, with two
other members appointed by the Selectmen. He remained in this
position for several years. He was elected a member of the school
committee in March 1899, and his death occurred just before his
fifteenth year of service was completed. In 1888 he was a candidate
for the position of county commissioner of Norfolk County, and came
within twelve votes of election. His service to the town was remark-
able, for he filled in long i)eriods all of the principal ofhces in its gift,
so that his experience and advice were valuable assets to the to^\^l.
With some of the business interests alst> of Dedham, Mr. Hill was
closely connected. The Dedham Institution for Savings owed much
to his legal services for nearly forty years. In 1875 he succeeded
Judge Waldo Colburn as its attorney, since 1883 he served as one of
its trustees, and for many years, until his death, he was on its im-
portant Committee of Investment. He served as attorney for other
banks also. At the time of his death he was the senior director of the
Dedham Mutual Fire Insurance Company, a position to which he
had been first chosen in 1880, and during this period he served for
many years as its auditor.
In September 1880 Mr. Hill was elected a member of the Dedham
Historical Society, and all its interests were most congenial to him.
Ho entered its service with enthusi:ism, and with a devotion which
1914] Don Glcason IIill 213
made him the motive power of its hiter suceess. The iSociety sinco
its b(;^;iriiiin^ in 1859 had ^unc; on in tiie (juict t(»nor of its way, and
continued to hold ni(!etinjz;s in the; rooms of the eounty eomniissioners
in the eourt houses until 18«7. Meantime, in 1S80, Mr. 11 ill announced
1 to the Society "the numificent ^^ifts of Hannah Shutthworth" of Ikt
[ hom(;stead, with thi; sinn of ten thousand dollars, to he used in tho
I erection of a huildiiiK for tlm Society on its site. Mr. Hill was in-
j strumental in hrin^inp; about this hai)py result and also in raisinj^ an
additional sum of fifteen hundred ciollars by subscription, which
cnabhul the society to ('rect its fire-j)ro(jf building, completed in
December 1887. The new building was opcaied with a notable
I exhibition of historical relics on 25 January 1888; and at tlie annual
; meeting in March folhjwing Mr. Hill was elected i)resitient. For
six ycMirs previously he had held the positions of historiographer,
chronicler, and curator of the Society.
The Society's collection of volurni's, then inherited from the day
of small things, became the nucleus of a steadily growing library,
which in a few years, owing to Mr. Hill's personal etTorts, proved of
great value for reference as well as large in numljers. He spent hours
from day to day, outside of liis pressing business, in f(^llo\N ing up the
necessary details in this labor of love. The Society has spread upon
its re(!or(ls a grateful recognitic^n of what he did in securing its build-
ing, the library, and the collection of interesting relics, and in keeping
the standard of its work up to the highest usefulness. During the
fourteen years of The Dcdham Historical Register, from 1890 to 1903,
he gave the editor, in his personal undertaking, most encouraging
and loyal support. The quarterly was published under the aus])icc3
of the Society, and Mr. Hill occasionally contributed to it articles of
value.
Mr. Hill took the initiative in preparing for and suggesting to tho
town the important steps to be taken in the celebration of tlui two
hundred and tiftieth anniversary of its incorporation. In connection
with this event of 188G he was one of the Committee on Historic
Tablets and Monuments, and tlid efficient service, not only in erect-
ing memorials to mark places and objects of historic interest but in
doing his part in making the full and exhaustive report of the Com-
mittee which is i)rinted in the "Proceedings at the Celebration."
The knowledge wliich Mr. Hill had gained as a student of the history
of the town and of the church and from his pn)fessional work was of
invaluable service on that occasion, and on the two humlred and
fiftieth anniversary of the church.
The townspeople of Dedham will ever hold his name in grateful
remembrance for his interest in the other bequests of Miss Ilannah
Shuttleworth — ten thousand dollars to the Dedham Public Library,
which made available for a library' building anotlu^ legacy of an equal
amount, and the residue of her estate, amounting to thirty thousand
dollars, to the town of Dedham, the income to be used to furnish
pecuniary aid and employment to the worthy poor of the touTi.
Mr. Hill was made chairman of the first committee of the town to
take charge of this fund, in 1888, and continued in the position until
his death. The bequest to the Public Library enabled the trustees
214 Don Glca6on Hill [July
to build a Kuhstanlial ari<l hcautiful stone l^uilding. Mr. Hill was
(jhosou a trustee in March 1887, arul In^ld the position until March
11)00, serving; as ch;rk during a part of this time.
Mr. II ill's time and thought were lar^;(;ly given to matters of local
interest, and this fact, conihincd with a natural .-hrinkin^ fnjn
publicity, prev<;nted him from ^i\ in^; to man}' (jf the societies outside
which sou^^ht his membership the beneht of his lentil and hi.<torical
knowledge. liut he took, however, an active part as a member of
the New England Historic (Icnealogical Society, to which lie was
admitted in 1881; he was a member of its Council from 1 June 1892
to 189G, of its C'ommittee on Memorials for the years 1900-1 902, and
of its Committee on Publicaticms for th(^ years 1900-1910; and he
was dee])ly interested in its objects and welfare. He was also a
member of the American Historical Association, the American
Anti(iuarian Society, and the Massachusetts Historical Society, and
highly prized his membership in each of these societies.
The j)ressure of his busy prjjfe.ssional life also prevented him from
devoting much tinu? to finished literary work. Besides his occasional
addresses to the Dedham Historical Society he gave the address on
17 June 1898, at the unveiling of the bronze tablet, placed on a
boulder erected on the Church (Ireen by the (vommon\\<'alth of
Massachusetts, to connnemorate the establishment by the inhabi-
tants of Dedham in town meeting assembled, on 1 January 1044/5,
of a free public school to be maintained by general taxation. He
also prepared for The National Magazine of June 1892 a valuable
illustrated article on ''The Record of a New England Town fr(>m
the Passage of the Stamp Act to the Declaration of Independence,
1706-1770."
Mr. Hill's recreation from the stress of his active life was his great
interest in books, both as a rc-ader and as a collector. His library of
several thou.sand volumes comprised works relating to the Hible and
religion, the drama, Ameriian History, travel, and art, and was rich
in books for children's reading, in poetry — especially of the earlier
English poets, and in books of reference. Saturdays found him in
th(; bookshops of Boston on his interesting search for books, and the
fascination of the quest was all-absorbing to him. During his last
protracted illness, when he was incapacitated from doing any physical
labor, he busied himself, quietly and with the assistance of members
of his family, in making an illustrated catalogue of his library, in four
volumes; and this work was his chief pUuisure.
His life in Dedham was inseparably connected with the Ortho-
dox Congregational Church, of which he was long a member, and a
deacon from 1898 to 1912. He was closely connected with its inter-
ests and devoted to its welfare, giving much of his valuable time in
its service.
Mr. Hill married, 26 December 1876, Carrie Louisa Luce, daughter
of David Wing and Caroline Elizabeth Luce of Dedham. He is sur-
vived by his widow and six children, Carrie Frances, Helen Florence,
Don Cleason, Jr., Maria Louisa, Alice Laura, and George. Mr.
Hill's brother, William Francis, and his son, Don Gleason, Jr., occupy
his office and continue his practice.

1914] Dorchester First Church Baptisms 215
BAPTISMS IN THE FIRST CHURCH
AT DORCHESTER, MASS., 1748-1792
Comrnunicatcd by IOduak Yates, A.Ii., of BosU)ii, Mass.
•
TiiR church nuiords of baptisms of the First Church at Dorchester,
Mass., from 1730 to 1814 liave loii^? hecii missin^^. This period in-
cludes the pastorates of Hev. Jonathan Bowman (1 729-1 77.S) and
Rev. Moses lOverett (177-1 179:j) and the first half of the pastorate
of Rev. Tiiaddeus Ma.son Harris (179:MS3'0). Wlien Mr. Bowman's
pastorate came to an end, he retained the church records wiiieh were
in his possession, although the ('hurch <lemanded them of him. The
book containing the record of deatiis during his ministry was recov-
ered, but the other records were n(;ver given )>a(k to the Church —
"a serious lo.ss to the toNNTi," says the History of Dorchester (p. WM)).
The book containing the record of baptisms from 1774 to 1814 wan
mislaid by Dr. Harris in later years, according to parish tradition.
In the old Ebenezer Clapp house in Dorchester, recently, Mr.
Edward Albert Huebener, an enthusiastic local antiquary, discovered
under the attic eaves, behind a i)lastered wall, a small wooden trunk.
In this litthi trunk wore manuscri{)t books and i)apers of evident age.
One of them was a home-made book, G by 7J^ inches, with these
wortls written on the cover: "Record of Baptizms / from / 1748 to
1792."
This book of 110 pages appears to be a private record of Dorches-
ter First ('hurch ba])tisms, begun by SanuieP Withington, Jr. {Sam-
uel,^ John,'^ Richard^), and kept by him or some member of his family.
The penmanship is so excellent as to leave no question as to the
spelling of each name. The pages used are ruled vertically into four
columns. The pages are not numbered, but in the printeil copy the
pages of the original are indicated by numerals enclosed in brackets.
The book apparently had at one time a wall-paper cover, but only
the right-hand half of this now remains, and a dark brown paper cover
has been added.
The period covered by this private record is, in years, more than
half of that for which the church records arc missing.

FitoM Chancery Pkockkdin^js
On 21 June 1007 I{oK<r (loldin^ complains that al)oiit ton years bince
John Parnicnter, late of Sudbury, deceased, made a will by which he apjvjintcd
the complainant and one John Parnicnter executors of his estate of some
£800, with lands in Sudbury, Tilbury, Little Yeldham, etc., and died about
two years since, hy s:\'u\ will testator Irfi his estate to the wife of the eonj-
plainant and her children and to others of his kindred and friend-^. Hut
one William Parmintei" has secured for him.'^elf administration (Jn the .said
estate, and in confederacy with John Parminter lias seized and embezzled
the estate of the deceased, and has not distributed it according to the latter's
will.
William l^armenter, one of the defendants, brother and administrator of
the late John I'arnicnttr (;f Sudbury, maltster, replies that as complainant
sues as one of the executors of a pretended will of deceased, said complainant
should be joineil as complaiiuuit with John Parminter, the other executor
of the pretended will, and should not make the latter a defendant. This
defendant knows nothing: of an}' will niade ten years a>;o, but has heard the
other defendant, John Parminter, say that about 2S I'!lizabeth [l')X')-b)
deceased did make a will aj)pi)inting complainant and said defendant, John
Parminter, as executors, and tlu; said complainant did show this deft ndant
a copy of the same and said that he intended to sue this defendant in the
ecclesiastical courts, but he has not done so, and defendant doubts if 5.uch a
will existed, its two years after the time of said |)retended will said deceased
loanctl complainant over £10, which he would not have done hail he made
him executor of his estate. And moreover this defendant can j^rove by
witnesses that on 2-4 Sej)tember 1003 the deceased stated that one William
Parmiter, son of this defendant, should have all the estate of dccc:ised. On
the death of said deceased this defendant, believing that deceased died
intestate, did sue forth administration on his estate in the Prerogative (/ourt
of Canterbury (deeeaseil having estate in divers dioceses), which was granted
to this defendant Pt So j)t ember 1()05. Deceased tlied 24 August Hi05,
po.ssessed of an estate nuich smaller than is claimed by the complainant;
and with the consent of John Parmiter and of Thomas Smith ami of Kdith
his wife, sister of the dcce:ised, this defendant had the estate ai)j>rai.'>e<l,
which amounteil to £200. 12s. The debts of the deceased were £17. 7s. 4d.
The defendant, John Parmit(T, received as his share of the estate £43. Is. (kJ.,
and said Smith and lulith liis wife about £40. The costs of administration
were £2;>. l()s. 8(1. The house in Sudbury called "The (Jalleryc" wiis the
freehold of the said John Parminter, deceased, who with one Peregrine
Parker, gent., did purchase the same in fee simple of one Peter Whyte on
G June, 35 Elizabeth [1503], and on the death of the said Parker said John
Parminter had the whole as survivor in fee simi)le, ami, he dying without
issue, it came to this defemlant iis his brother and next heir. Defendant
denies any consi)iracy with the other defendant, John Parnunter.
The other dtfendant, John Tarminter, replies that he thinks that John
Parminter, dece:ised, made a will about 28 Klizabeth [lo85-Gj, but knows
not if it remaineil in existence until his death. Lately complainant sent liis
son to this defendant to show to this defendant a coi)y of said will, by w hiih
deceased left to his brother William Parminter, the other defendant, for life,
lands, etc., in Little Yeldham, with reversion to llenr}' Parminter, said
William's son, and left to this defendant, another brother, for life, lands in
Little Yeldham, Tilbury, etc., with reversion to John Parminter, this de-

[I'Vom the foregoing records and from some other sources the following
information about the Parmenter families of Little Yeldham, co. Kssex, and
about the ancestry of Dca. John Parmenter of Sudbury and Koxbury, Ma.ss.,
has been derived:
William Parmenter, Sr., born probably about n()5, appears, with
other Parmenters, at Little Yeldham, co. Kssex, in the subsidy of 1523-4.
John Parmenter, Sr., George Parmenter, Sr., Richard Par-mknter,
Thomas Parmenter, and Nichoi^s Parmenter appear at Little Yeldham
in the subsidy of 1')42~1."3-1L They belong apj)arently to the generation
inunediately following that to which William Parmenter, Sr., belongs. No
wills have been found wliich throw light on the exact relationship of these
men to one another or on their respective families; but doubtless the fathers
of .some of the Parmenters of the next generation are included in this list of
names.
These men of the next generation are John Parmenter, born probably
about 1515, and probably the i)rogenitor of Family A, given below; Ceorge
Paume.nteu, born probably about lo'JO, progenitor of Family B, given below;
Rkharu Parmenter of Little Yeldham, who appi^ars in the subsidy of
L')()5-(); and Kohert Parmenter, born probably about 1530, progenitor
of Family C, given below.
Family A
L John Parmenter, of Little YeUlham, co. Es.scx, born probably about
1515, appears as John Parmenter, Jr., at Little Yeldham in the subsidy of
1542-1544, and is found later in the adjoining parish of Tilbury-by-Clare,
CO. Essex, in the subsidies of 15()5-t) and L')71-2.
The following were probably his children:
i. John, settled in Sudbury, co SutTulkj where he was a brewer or
nmltster, and d. 24 Aug. 10(^5. h'avnig no i.ssue. lie appears in
several entries in the Sudbury bc^rough records from 1597 to 1001
(Hkcistkk, vol. Oii. p|). 170 171). His estate was contested in
Chancery by Uogir (u)lding in 1007.

3. WiLUAM Parmenter (George), of Little Ycldham, co. Essex, husband-
man, the testator of 10 1 '3, born prolxibly about 1560, wxs buried at
Little Ycldham 4 Dee. 1()17. He married, about 15S5, Maugeky
. He inherited various lauds in Little Yeldhani from his
father and copyliold hinds called Cowell or Gouldwcll by the \sill of
his brother Cicorge, whicli he mentioned in his own will, date(i 12 Oct.
1G13 and j)rove(i 19 Jan. 1017/18. As only two of his children were
baptized at Little Yehlham, it is likely that at some period he resided
elsewhere; and therefore he was probably the William Parmenter
who was a.ssessed in the subsidy of 159t>-7 in the adjacent j)ari.'ih
of 8il)le Ilcdingham, the registers of which prior to 1680 are lost.
Children:

4. Dea. John Parmenter (William, George), of Little Ycldham, co. Essex,

and Ro.\bury, Mass., was born evidently about 158S, as the baptism of
his elder brother Robert is recorded at Little Yeldham 23 Oct. 1586,
and yet by 12 Oct. 1013 John Parmenter was old enough to be married
and to be the father of two children, Mary and John, according to the
will of that date of his father, William Parmenter. He may liave
been born at Sible Heilingham, co. Essex, but the early registers of
this parish are lost. He inherited no lands from his father, and after
the hitter's death he evidently removed about eight miles from IJttle
Yeldham into Bures St. Mary. Here his sister Sarah was marrietl,
4 Oct. 1010, to John Cressall, who in his will of July 1025 bequeathed
a cow to his brother-in-law John Parmenter. Here also, a.s John
Parminter,* he was a witness, 22 Feb. 1030/1, to the will of Henrie
Loker of Bures St. Mary, co. Essex, glover (Register, vol. 03, pp.

, who died in 1041; and secondly . W'inthrup tells us
in his History (vol. 2, p. 174), under date of 1()44: "A poor man of
Hin^hain. one Fainter, who had Vwod at New Haven and at Rowley
and ( Iharlestown, and ))een scandalous and l)Urdi;nsome by his idle
and tri)ul)li\some behavioiu' to them all, was now on the suddrn
turninl anal)ai)tist, and having a child born, he would not suffer his
wife to biing it to the ordinance of l)ai)ti.sm, for she was a member of
the churcli, though himself were not. Reing })ri\sented for this, and
enjoincnl to suiter the chilil to be ba])tized, he still refusing, and dis-
tm-biiig the ehur{;h, he was again l)rought to the court not unly for
his former contem])t, but also for saying that our bai)tism was anti-
christian; and in the ojm'U coiu't he tdlirmed the .same." For this ho
was whi])ped, and "endured his ])unishment with nuich obstinacy,
and when he was loosed, he said boast ingly, that (iod had marvellously
assisted him."

1680 "An Indictment by the Atorny Genii agnst Shiil>nll

That Sliubal painter eitlier be sett in the stockes for a six
bowers time or pay twenty shillings to the Genl Treasury in
mony betwixt this & Next Thursday twelve of the clock and
that his bond bo continued whih; next court and also<* pay
otiicersfees." (U. I. Court of Trials, vol. A, p. 51.) He wa.- in-
dicted, 27 Mar. ltJ83, for living with Hannah, the wife of Thoin.
Martin, contrary to law, was found guilty, and w;is sentenced
to forfeit bonds and pay fee. As Shubacl's wife Mercy waa
then tlead and as he "published marriage" with Mrs. Martin,
it seems i)robable that her husl)and had deserted or divorced her,
and that only some legal quibble stood in the way of her
remarriage. On 27 Mar. 1083 he was also prosecuted by
John Williams for "takeiug Sheep ffeloniously"; and he im-
mediately commenced action against said John for "Sclaundrr
and Defamation." He was acquitted on the sheep charge,
and wiis awarded £3 damages and costs of court on his counter
suit. The case was referred to the next Assembly because
Shubael was absent, being emi)loyed about the country's ser-
vice. In 1088 he was aj)pointed constable.
In 1677 he sold to his brother-in-law, William Trowbridge,
the share of the Lamberton estate to which his wife Mercy wus
heir; but in 1685 the sale was declared void, and the lands were
resold to Samuel Smith. Probably it was held that this sale
did not include undivided lands, for Shubael's son Thomas
and daughter Margaret both disi)osed of land inherited from
George Lamberton. His daughter Mercy seems nevt-r to
have possessed any of this i)rop(rty ; at least she did not assign
her right in any deed on record at New Haven. An abstract
of the LamlKTton deeds is given in the Notes on the Lamber-
ton Family, infra, pp. 284, 285.

to (leorge Clinton of New Haven one fourth of one sixth of the landa
of George Lamberton, dece:usod. (New Haven Deeds, vol. 12,

})orlion of the Lamberton fjurn, utdess Mercy Lamberton were
ler mother, as a careful study of the deeds will show {I'ide infra,
pp. 284, 285); and for this reason she is given here as a daughter
of Shubael Painter. There is a mass of circumstantial evidence to
prove that she was mother, by her first husband, of Richard
Morris; and, by her second hu.sband, of George Clinton and his
brothers. Child by first husband;* 1. Hicfuird, d. at Milford,

Tiie aged deacon met a tragic end near the close of the
Revolutionary War. On the night of 1 Sept. 1781 three
British vessels landed one hundred and fifty men at West
Haven, Conn., who, having secured the eleven sentinels,
collected cattle and other plunder. They returned to their
vessels >\'ithout discovery, taking with them their booty, two
of the sentinels, and Deliverance Painter and his brother-in-
law, Ca])t. John Catlin. The boat carrying the four patriots
capsized near Stratford Point, and Painter and the two sen-
tinels were drowned, Catlin alone escaping. The Painter
home, now known as the James Revnolds house, had been
ransacked, and the son, Lamberton Painter, evaded capture
only by hiding under tobacco leaves in the garret. Five of
Deliverance's children died young, and their epitaph in the
West Haven cemetery reminds one of Wordsworth's **We are |
Seven."
Three underneath the clods they be
& two their lyes beyond the Seas.
Their Names now which you may behold
though they are in the Ambicscs cold.

• Vide article on tho Cliutoi^ family, to be published in a future number of the
\
1914] The Painter Family 279
years old. On 23 Sept. 1773 200 acres of hiFul in Mi«l.lI.'lMiry
were laid out for (Janialicl I*aint«;r, who was already livinj^
in his house on that laud. The settlers of Middh.'hury, \'t.,
came ehi(!tiy from Salisbury, ('onn., and the name of the
C'Onnecticut town was ^nivtn to tlu^ Vermont town which lies
next south of Middle! lury and which was chart creel o Nov.
171)1. In 1777 (lanialici I'aintcr was a mcmher of the con-
vention that framed the constitution of \'iTm(jnt, and he
servcul as a captain in the Revolutionary War. W hen liur-
poyne marched southward in 1777, Oamaliel Painter was
obliged to withdraw with his family from Middlelxiry, but
in 17(S4 he returned with his family to that town. In 1784 the
bounds of Salisl)ur3', Vt., were moved nortliward so that 170
acres of (Gamaliel Painter's land, including tlu; site of his house,
became a i)art of Salisbury; and on 20 Au^. 1787, calling
himself of Salisbury, Addison Co., Vt., he conveyed all land
gi\ en to him by the last will of his father, the witnesses being
Jose])h and Abi^;ail Painter (ib., vol. 43, p. 110). He ac(iuired
mucii more land in Middlebury, removed in the fall of 1787
to Midillebury village, and became one of the most prominent
citizens of the town. He encouraged the coniing of new-
settlers by selling to them land in Miildlebury; he served f(jr
thirteen years in the Vermont Legislature; he was a member
of the Council; and was sherift" and a judge of the County
Court. He was one of the (^iginal trustees of Middlebury
College, incor])()rated in 1800, and in his will, his children being
dead, he left all his estate. excei)t an annuity for his widow, to
that institution. From this becpiest the College realized about
$13,000; and one of its buildings, erected in 1814 and (jrigi-
nally called West College, received in remembrance of this
benefaction and still I'cars the name of Painter Hall. It is
the oldest college building now standing in Vermont. A por-
trait of Gamaliel Painter may be found in Swift's History of
Middlebury, from which most of this account of his life has
boi'n taken.*

NOTES ON THE LAMHICIITON FAMILY
Capt. George' Lamukuton, one of the merchant Rcntlmion who
founded the Colony of New Haven, came from London. He is
called of the parish of St. Mary's Whitecliapel whin, on G Jan.
1028/9, he married Makoauf:t Lewen (Reoisteu, vol. 61, p. 189).
Some account of him and of his family is ^iven in The Converse
Family, 1905, vol. 2, pj). 081 et ^eq. He was lost in KilO on board
the ^'<;reat shij)" he conunanded, whose fate is the theme of Long-
fellow's ])oem, "The Phantom Shij)." In the following year his
widow, Margaret, marritul l^cputy-Covernor Stephen Coodyear.
lOrroneous statements have been made concerning his family, one
being that Mary, first wife of Lieut. -Gov. James Hishop, was liia
daughter. This error is based on a passage; from the trial of Mrs. God-
man for witchcraft in 1()')3, which states that Mrs. Godman "hath
much inciuired upon the time of M""* liishops delivery of her children,
and would s|)eake of it so M""* Goodyeare and her daughters marveled
how she could know, and Hannah Lamberton one time told her
mother tliat M*"'^ Godman kept her sisters count." It is evident that
the Mrs. Bishop of the reconl was sister either of Hannah Lamberton
or of her mother, Margaret (Lewen) (Lambeilon) Goodyear, but she
may have been Patience, wife of Henry liishop (brother of James),
instead of Mary, wife of James. At all events, it is certain that
Mar}' Bisho]) was not a daughter of George Lamberton, as she left
surviving issue who did not share in tlie Lamberton estate.
On 20 Oct. 1058 "M" Goodyeare & her children by Mr. Lamber-
ton p'"senting themselves before the court, she desired that y*
portions w*-'^ remaine vni)aid dew to the children, might be set out
by y* Court, vpon which p'position it was demanded of Willm Trow-
bridge, y* husi)and to Elizabeth Lamberton, what he had received
of M"" Goodyeare. . . . Hannah & Hope Lamberton, being at age,
were api)ointed to receive their portions, w'^^ they desired might be
delivered to tlieir mother. . . . Deliverance, who is to have a double
portion, & Mercy, Desire, and Obedience, chose their mother for
their guardian."

The Descent of the Lambertox Farm
The correctness of the account ^iven above of George Lamberton's family
is proved by a series of deed.s which dispose of the several portions of the
Lanibcrton farm. This large estate of over 200 acres was, after Mrs. Good-
year's death, divided between the si.x Lamberttjn girls. As there are some
complexities, abstracts of these deeds are given, most of wliich are self-
explanatory, and all of which are from the New Haven Land Records:
[Vol. 1, p. 521 "I Shuball Painter of Newport in Rhode Island have sold
unto my Brother in law William Trowbridge of New Haven all my riglits
title and interest which I have in a farm at New Haven on which tli^ said
William Trowbridge now liveth." Dated 4 May 1677.
[Vol. 1, p. 2811 " I William Trowbridge have received this bill of my Brother
in law Shuball Painter which said Shuball I own to be my act and deed upon
consiilcration that we the above written, cannot agree about the price and
pay I the said William do declare this bill of sale to be invaluable . . . and
what record hath been made upon this bill or any other shall be revoked."
Dated 8 June 10S5; recorded 20 July lONo at the desire of Samuel Smith.
[Vol. 1, p. 2811 Shuball Painter of Newport, R. L, conveys to Samuel
Smith of New Haven "all my right, interest and title, that I now stand
possessed of, or hereiifter may l.'\wfully accrue or descend to me ... in the
lands of Captain (^leorge Lamberton deceased." Dated 9 July 1685.
(Vol. 1, p. 293] Thomas Cooper and Desyer his wife of Springfield, Mjiss.,
convey to Samuell Smith of New Haven "a full sixth part from the estate
of George Lamberton deceased." Dated 30 Oct. IGSo.
r\^ol. 1, p. 349] "Mr. George I^mberton's farm situate on the west side
of New Haven harbor . . . is divided unto Captain John Ailing, Mr. William
Trowbridge, Samuell Smith and Mrs. Hope Harbett . . . by virtue of their
inutuid desire and agreement." Dated 22 Mar. 1085/ 6.
[Vol. 1, p. 367] John and Hannah Allyn of Hartford convey to Thomas
Trowbridge, son of William Trowbridge of New Haven, "the full sixth part
of Mr. George Lamberton^ land that docs descend to the said Hannah AUea
\
1914] The Painter Family 285
is her portion in Mr. CleorRC I^aniberton's lands. . . laid out or not laid
Dut." Dated IT) Dec. 1GS7.
(Vol. 1, p. i\3')\ Sarnut'll Smith of New Haven conveys to William Johnson,
senior, witli tlie consent of Thoinua Tro\vl»ri(iji;e, Junior, and of Mr. W iUiuni
Cheney of Middletown in the ri^dit of liis wife Iloixi ('heney, the duu^liter
Df Mr. Laniberton aonie time of New Haven deceased, land "sold by Mrs.
Goodyear our mother deceased, to saitl Johnson." Dated 20 Feb. WJ2/3.
[Vol. 1, p. 51) 1] Mr. William Cheny, husbandman, with Hope hi.s wife,
dwelling in Middlftown, eonvc^ys to William \\ illmot, shoemaker, J acre.
Dated 27 Sej)t. 1(1'.)2. John Clark, now rc-iident at MiddK-town, witli
Abi^aile his wife, the eldest dau^!;hter and only surviving child of tiie ub<jve
mentioned Mrs. Hope Cheny, reliiuiuishes all right. Dated 1 Nov. 101)2.
(Vol. 1, p. 700) William (Mieney of Middletown, with the consent of Hope
"my pre.sent" wife, conveys to Thonuis I'ainter of New Haveu about 40
acres, "formerly Mr. Lambertons." Dated 2() May 1698.
[Vol. 1, p. tSlO] John Clark of Middletown and A))ip;aill Clark, his wife,
enter their caution against any further record of the lands belonging to their
mother, Hoi)e Cheny, formerly Hope Lamberton, which did formerly be-
long unto Mr. Cteorge T.aiiiberton, lying within tin? precincts of New Haven,
they being the proper heirs of said land. Dated 23 May 17UU.
[Vol. 10, p. 308) John \\illiams and Abigail his wife, Ambros Clark, Cheny
Clark, I'Mward Jackson and I'ainice his wife, all of JNIiddletown, convey to
Sanuicl Smith of West Haven all right to Mr. George Lamberton's third
division lot in New Haven, descending to them from the estate of Mr. George
Lam})i'rton, excepting the farm at West Haven sold to Thomas Painter.
Dated 27 Feb. 1728/9.
[Vol. 4, p. 290) I"'lizabcth Trowbridge, widow, daughter of George Lam-
berton, decciu^ed, conveys to grandson Caleb Mallary I of the land laid out
to Mrs. CJoodyear, widow to Mr. George Lamberton, deceased. Dated
19 May 1714.
[Vol. 12, p. 184] Jeremiah Mott and Margaret Mott of Wallingford, for
£100, convey to George Clinton of New Haven "all our Hight Title and
Intrest in the Estate of George Lamberton of New Haven aforesd deed:
being one ft)urtlj jiart of sixth part of all sd Lambertons Lands in sd New
Haven whetlier divided or not yet divided." Dated 29 Sei)t. 1743.
From the Proprietors' Records (vol. 4, p. 137) we learn that tlie following
claims to "half division" land were reconled 3 Apr. 1704: "Thorn* Trow-
bridge at ye \\'est side { of M*" Lambertons 1"^ purchase Right. Thom"
panter i of Mr Lambertons 1«^ purchase Right. L' Sam" Smith | of M*"
Lambertons 1 purchjise Right." It is dillicult to understand how, after
Shubael Painter had sold all hLs rights to Samuel Smith, his son Thomas
Painter could have inherited Lamberton land; but it is certain that he did,
both from tlie record given above and from the fact that he later sold land
which he inherited from his mother. Also the Margaret Mott who api>ear3
in the deetl (}Uotetl above must have inherited her share of the lamberton
lands from the Painters, as all the other branches of the family arc thoroughly
accounted for. We have presented the facts, and must be content to leave
this and other perplexities in abeyance.

in W iKUr Hall, *J A.shhurtoti IMace, at 2.30 l'..v., Preairlent B;kxter presichnt?.
The niiimt(« of the .March mectini; were approved, and the rejK)rts of the
IJhr:iriiin, C<)rreK[K)n(ling Se(Tct;iry, Historian, luul Council were accepted.
Ten resident niernhers were elected by ballot. •
On motion of John Albree it was
\'ottd, That a committee of five be appointed by the President to prepare a
draft of revi.scd by-laws for the Society, to be submitted at a future meetm^.
President Baxt(T :ij)jK)inted :ls members of this committee Charii*8 Sidney Knsi^^n
(Chuirman), Waldo Lincoln, John Carroll Ch:ii>e, James Parker Purmenter, and
\\ illiam Preseott Greenlaw.
CIcorpe Pierce Haker, Professor of Dramatic Literature at Harvard Univcrhity,
6poke on The iJnnna and .IrMnaui Hi.story, tracinj; the tkvclopmcnt of the
American dramatic taste as shown in the plays that have appeared from time to
time, such ivs "A Prince of Parthia," the hrst American play, remarkable for ita
dullness; "The Coiujuest of Caiuida," >;iven but twice in 1773; "Indocturn Piu--
liamentum," an early drama of social life; "Marmion," which, thoujih adaptetl
by an American, yet luul to be ailvertised ;is a London success to obtain popularity;
the Indian plays once popular; and the many later plays whi( h have an historical
setting hut in \\ hich the le.ssons of history are ovcrsluwlowed by the interebtinj;
expel iences of young lovers. TtMlay, accordin^i; to the speaker, we are just
beginning to stM? what can be done on the stage with the portrayal of human life,
and the result will be an ideal of larger citizenship and of better government.
President Baxter spoke of the enthusijism that usovl to be arouse 1 when Forrest
and I'roctor recitcnl their lines in tlie old plays.
NOTES
It having come to the attention of this Society that certain
genealojjists and publishertj have used the name of the Society
in connection with their own enterprises, the Society again de-
sires to state that it has NO genealogical representatives in this
country or in England, nor is it in any way connected with any
publications other than those that it issues over its own name
at 9 Ashburton Place, Boston.
The Committee on English Research desires to state, however,
that although the Society has no official representative in Eng-
land the Committee is employing Miss French for a part ol brr

Ncwhiiryport, Mass., 4 July ISlii, .Sarah, dauKhtor of William arui Marthti
(Nowcll) Short and widow of Iliiiry Sulh'.an Perry. 'I'heir .ion, Kufus W illiarn
i^pra^uc, v\!ts born lo Nov. IS'JO, and Kiifiih William Sprague, Jr., aon of Ihi.s
Uufus William Sprapic, was horn 21) Aiig. IHVJ.
Arcliihald Si)ra^;uL' di»;d of y»llow fi'vcr, at Mobile, Ala., in ISIO; but before
Ilia death he gave (jrally to his son, KufuH \\'illiarn S|)rague, an acrount of him.-* If ^
stating that he w;is the 8on of Rufus and iio.sannali Sprague of Johnston, H. 1.;
that his father died when lie waw three years old, leaving a large family; that a
guardian wjis appointc<i for him, who bound him as an appr(Miti<e to a man in
l*rovi(lenc(^: that this man treated him b;uily, and he ran away when ten years
old, Hhip{)e(i iis a eabm boy and be( aiiui a sailor, and 8Wt)rt? that he wouM never
go back to Providence; and that he never did go back to that place. This btory
wius repeat e<l by Kufus William Sprague in 1872 in a letter to his eon, Hufus
William Sprague, Jr., the latter having asketl about his grandfather; and this
letter is still in exi.ste^nx'.
Uufus Sprague of Johnston, U. I., (hed about ITDf), leaving a widow and four-
teen children. In liis will, dated 2 Sept. 1794 and proved 2(j Aug. 17U5, he makes
the following br(jue.st.s: 'I'o daughter Judidi 15 Spanish milleil dollars. To hix
other daughters, Diadamy, Sarah, llosabellow, Kosanna, Anne, and Polly, iti
apiece, to i)C paid by son Joseph to Diadamy, Sarah, Po.sabellow, and Ho.nanna
within a year after testator's d(?ceai>e and to Anne aiul Polly when they are
eighteen. To sons W eliome, Rufus, (leorge, Panlon, and Kzekiel i'3 each, to
be paid to them by son Joseph, under whose care they are to remain until they
are sixteen years old, and t(\stator orders son Joseph to bind them out to trades.
To son Sylvester itiO, to be paitl to liim at twenty-one, and he is to be und<'r the
care of Joseph. Residue of lamls ami estate to son Joseph, saving that wife
Rosannah is to have the u.se and improvement of the estate as long as she remains
& widow. Kxecutors: Dr. Harding Harris and son Joseph Sj)rague.
The wi<low, Rosannah (Striven) S{>rague, was married ^o<)n after\vftr(l8 to
Sanuiel Kilton; but sincii tlu' testator hatl nnwle Joseph guardian of the other
children, no other guardian wari appointed by the Court.
In this will no son Archibald is mentioned. Since in a will in which the cliildren
are provided for so c\i)licitly it is not likely that one child would be omitt»HJ,
it is evident that Archibald changed his name when he ran away; and it is there-
fore necessary to identify him with one of the sons mentione<l in the will.
In 1803 Joseph S|)rague died. In his will he mentions his brother Sylvester
Si)rague, his son Charles Samp.son Snrague, his wife Sarah and her fathex
1 luH)philus HIackmar (the latter is miwie execi/tor), and also the legacies left by
his fatluT Rufus Sjjrague that are U.) be paid to the children who are still under
age and have not yet received tliem. Theophilus HIackmar was appointi^i
administrator of the rest of Rufus Sprag\ie's estate, and the following arrange-
ments about guardians were m:ule. Ceorge Sprague, son of lUifus Spr;ipie of
Johnston, deceased, a minor over fotirteen and under twenty-one, chose lienjamin
Atwood for his guartlian, 12 Feb. IS03. Sylvester Sprag\ie antl Pardon S[-rague,
over fourteen and under twenty-one, chose, 12 Feb. 1S()3, Oliver Horden for their
guardian; and later, 4 June 1S()3, they chose I'.benezer Sprague for thi>ir guardian.
Penjanun Atwood was appointed, 12 Feb. RS03, guardian to Polly Spragiu' and
Ezekiel Sprague (the two children are named in this order), diihlrcn of Uufu8
Sprague, late of Johnston, deceiisinl, minors under fourteen. It appears, there-
fore , that Kzekiel Si)rague was the only son lor whom a gmirdian w;i3 appoiiAcd^
and that all the other son.s were of an age that entitled th(>m to change their
guardians, if tliey so desire<I, and thus in a measure to control their own destinies.
The birth of only one of these chililren of Rufus Spragne is recorded, that of
Ceorge, tlie entry having been made when he was twenty-four years old; but
after a careful weighing of all the evidence the following list of children and dates
seems correct:
i. Judah, b. abt. 1767; m. 30 Dec. 1787 James Helme.
ii. Joseph, b. abt. 17(39; aged 21 by 1794; d. 1S03; m. Sarah Black mar.
